• The harmony between the young lady and the young man shows plainly in this picture! The happy betrothed pair are Miss Hind, daughter of Dr. Sulayman Najjar (seated at her right), a graduate of Beirut College for Women, and Mr. Ramez Abdel Halim Saab of Shweifat, an electrical engineer from the University of Oklahoma in the United States and at present a professor in the School of Engineering at the American University of Beirut.

Their engagement took place at an elegant family party that gathered a select company of friends of both parties; as for the crowning of the rejoicings — that comes with next spring! To them our warmest congratulations and our most sincere good wishes.

• The social affairs committee of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) has resumed its activ-ity by inviting the Association's friends to a monthly luncheon during which one of the men of thought speaks. On December 15 the Deputy Mr. Ghassan Tueni spoke on the subject: "Human Rights in the Arab Countries." The next luncheon falls on January 12, when His Excellency Mr. Philippe Takla will treat "The Problems of Administration in Lebanon."

The Woman's Voice appeals to readers not to fail to attend these gatherings, which are held at the Alumni Club for the enlightenment of public opinion.

The readers of The Woman's Voice no doubt remember Mrs. Zahia Salman's proposal aiming to immortalize the memory of the late woman of letters Salma Sayegh, and to discover the literary talents among our girls. The Woman's Voice noted this proposal at the time; and the esteemed al-Hayat likewise praised it and called for its support. In a past issue we reported the meeting held between Mr. Fuad al-Boustani, President of the Lebanese University, and Mrs. Salman and Mrs. Shayboub, and we noted the agreement reached among them — an agreement pro-viding that the permanent study seat bearing the name "Salma Sayegh" be established at the Lebanese University, to be awarded to the girl student excelling in letters.

This month a committee was formed, com-posed of Mmes. Salman, Shayboub, Kanaan, and Rihani, which has taken upon itself to watch over the carrying out of the said proposal and to publicize it. This committee called on Mr. al-Boustani a second time, and he informed it that he was nominating Miss Samira Assi for the "Salma Sayegh" seat. Those present agreed that alongside this seat there should be established at the Lebanese University a rostrum bearing the departed lady's name as well, from which three lectures on women's literature would be delivered yearly, to be printed and distributed. It was decided that the committee should prepare registers and receipt books to collect the necessary funds from "Salma's" friends and admirers. The committee has set about its work, and we for our part hope that its efforts, and the aim it pursues, will meet with the success they deserve — and with the needed response that its first campaign failed to find.
