• Mrs. Nazik Sarkis left us for Baghdad on the 24th of last October, joining her daughter Mrs. Jessie, wife of Michel Jureidini, direc-tor of the National Rubber Manufacturing Company...

Mrs. Nazik Sarkis is a firm pillar of the women's movement in Lebanon. She holds the Education Medal in recognition of her services in the field of education and teaching for upward of a quarter of a century, in Lebanon and in Iraq. Women's circles know her as "the silent striver" who works without noise and without love of display. She is secretary of the General Arab Women's Union and an active member of no small number of associations, chief among them the Lebanese Women's League and Tahdhib al-Fatat —

And to The Woman's Voice she is among its first champions: she has accompanied it these ten years, and never once denied the magazine her sin-cere advice and guidance. Her departure for Baghdad, which the women's associations count a great loss, this magazine considers a winning bargain; for Mrs. Sarkis has kindly consented to be "the agent of

The Woman's Voice in Iraq," con-veying to us each month the news of the Iraqi woman's activity, so that between us and our readers in the sister country there will come about the rapport we have striven to achieve ever since the magazine came into being —

At the hands of Mrs. Nazik Sarkis and by her energy, we hope that The Woman's Voice will pass from the narrow compass to the wide, until it succeeds in entering all women's circles —

With God's blessing, Mrs. Sarkis — may God grant you success!

The magazine The Woman's Voice has entrusted Mrs. Nazik Sarkis, on the occasion of the transfer of her resi-dence to Baghdad, to be its permanent agent in the sister country of Iraq.

All lady subscribers should therefore apply to Mrs. Sarkis in Baghdad for any transac-tions concerning the magazine. Her telephone number is 98301 and her post-office box 161.

"I greatly admire the order and arrangement that are evident in all the departments, from the sleeping quarters to the dining rooms, the study rooms, and the kitchen. Even in Europe I have not seen better than what I see here among you."

So declared the great Indian leader Mrs. Mithan Lam to her com-panions, Miss Ibtihaj Kaddoura, president of the General Arab Women's Union, and Mrs. Nazik Sarkis, the secretary, in the course of a visit the gracious guest paid to the Islamic Orphanage, whose departments she inspected. She

was astonished at the progress and refinement of this institution, which rightly keeps pace with the best institutions of its kind in Europe!!

Mrs. Lam enjoys great renown in her country — a professor of law from London who has practiced the profession in Bombay since 1924. The government took note of her distinction in this field and in 1934 chose her for the committee that revised the laws of marriage, divorce, and inheritance. She is also the first Indian woman to be appointed by the government as governor of the city of Bombay, in 1947.

Mrs. Lam is widely active in women's conferences and organiza-tions; she is either president or vice-president of most of them, such is the confidence that the women of India and its government place in her abilities and her sincerity.

Mrs. Lam regretted that her visit to Lebanon happened to fall during the summer, when it is impossible to meet personally, in any orga-nized fashion, the women who lead the women's movement.

Besides the Islamic Orphanage, she visited the homes and dispensaries of "Child Care," which
