The engagement of Miss Nancy Samuel, the only daughter of Sir Herbert Samuel, the first High Commissioner of Palestine, to Dr. Arthur Gabriel Salaman, was announced here today.
Miss Samuel was discovered six years ago in New York working as a shopgirl in a Fifth avenue store.
“I wanted to know something about the life of the American working girl, so I became one,” she told reporters at that time. She is a graduate of an Oxford women’s college and is a student of sociology and politics.
In New York, Miss Samuel worked first in the china and glass department of a Fifth avenue store. Later she was employed packing biscuits in a biscuit factory. Dr. Salaman, to whom she is engaged, is a son of Dr. Redcliffe N. Salaman, president of the Jewish Health Organization of Great Britain.
