Leen Subhi Abu Shaqra

By the time this issue reaches readers' hands, baby "Leen" will have reached two months of age — for her birth, at the hospital of Dr. Raymond Sarhal, took place on May 10 last, and mother and child moved, in the best of health, to Beiteddine.

"Leen" is the firstborn of Mrs. Widad and Mr. Subhi Abu Shaqra, director of the museum at the Beiteddine palace, whom listeners to Radio Lebanon know from his active part in the "Lebanese Soldier's Broadcast."

... And the father's face lights up when he speaks of the "first smile" that parted "Leen's" lips — especially since she resembles him more than she resembles her mother!.. And he is already counting off the minutes for her to grow up, so he can play with her and take her along on outings...

Our congratulations to the parents, happy in sweet, dark-complexioned Leen!.
