our avancer le travail de
la reconstruction. Nous fumes charmees de decouvrir que, quand il
retombait dans sa langue natale, nous pumes avec peu de difficulte le
comprendre. Apres que la derniere projection eut ete montree, le Duc
voulut beaucoup une photographie des eleves de Northrop School. En
consequence nous nous assemblames au cote sud de l'ecole ou Mlle.
Bagier fit deux photographies des jeunes filles avec leur ami
nouveau-trouve. Comme cela fut une grande occasion pour les plus
jeunes filles, elles demanderent a grands cris des autographes que le
Duc leur donna avec bonte. Ensuite on nous rappela a nos lecons qui
nous semblerent plus tristes que d'ordinaire par contraste avec
l'heure tres interessante que nous venions de passer avec le Duc.

The Princess Rahme Haider

It would seem that the good angels were plotting in favor of Northrop
School, for this year we have had one delightful entertainment after
another. Foremost among these events was a visit from the Syrian
princess Rahme Haider and her charming companion Miss Burgess, who
gave us a fascinating dramatic reading from the Bible. The entire
school was held spellbound by the art of the princess, who made a very
artistic appearance in her Oriental garb and had a charming
personality. Princess Rahme Haider most assuredly gave us one of the
most interesting and profitable programs of the year.
