LOAD OF WIVES
CHARABANC FULL. FOR ARABIAN KING. London, October 26. A harem on wheels, large enough to accommodate twenty-four wives, is being constructed here for the King of Arabia. The ambulatory seraglio consists of two large and luxurious motorcars, each big enough for a dozen of the King’s wives. The automobiles were ordered so the King can take some of his spouses along on his frequent long trips through desert sections of his kingdom. As other men are not allowed to gaze on the King’s wives, the cars have no window's, and light and air are admitted through the tops.
