HER WEDDING PRESENT
Princess and Her Cadillac Car
AGE-OLD CUSTOM
AT the recent wedding of the daugh- ** ter of his Highness, the Maharaja of Bikanir, India, to the Prince of Kotah. the bride's father presented two Cadillacs to the young couple. The Prince received a gift of a sevenpassenger Cadillac phaeton and the princess an Imperial Cadillac Sedan. Among the guests were twentyfive ruling princes of. India, who had come to witness the wedding ceremony, which was -celebrated with great pomp. The Cadillac sedan attracted a great deal of interest, as it contained many novel features which had been installed at the express wish of the princess. The most unique innovation was the screens of fine gauze ingeniously fitted to the doors, windows and even the partitions. The gauze can be raised or lowered . independently of the windows, as the princess must be shielded from public gaze when travelling. The ruling family of Bikanir are enthusiastic motorists and have four other Cadillacs and a La Salle m the royal garages.
