BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE SAHARA
Mrs. Leo d’Erlanger, famous Mayfair beauty, has discovered the “most lovely womep. in the world.”
They live in the heart of the Sahara Desert.
Mrs. d’Erlanger has returned to London after a daring trip with two companions by. car across the Sahara from the. Mediterranean to Timbuktu. She met the women of the Tuareg tribe at Hoggar, in the Southern Sahara, says the “Sunday Chronicle.” “They are the most beautiful women in the world,” she said. Incredibly lively, even when judged by Western standards. That should be a tip for Mr. C. B. Cochran.
"One theory for their presence is that they are descended from a band of Crusaders who got lost in Africa. “They must be the most independent women in the world. They choose their husbands, and at any time they can divorce them. All they have to say is that they’re going back to mother.”
