The Women of the Arabs

CHAPTER III
18/20

Two of her little girls are in the Female Seminary.

In 1861 she taught a day school for girls in Beirut, and assisted Dr.De Forest in his work in the Beirut Seminary.

I called upon her a few days since, and she handed me a roll of Arabic manuscript, which she said she had been translating from the English.

It is a series of stories for children which she has prepared to be printed in our monthly journal for Syrian children.

The name of the journal is "koukab es Subah," or "Morning Star." She has been confined to her bed a part of the summer, and when she gave me the manuscript, she apologized for the handwriting, on the ground that she had written the most of it sitting or lying on her bed.
