WEDDING OF AGA KHAN
NECKLACE OF DIAMONDS AND EMERALDS REGALLY WORN BY FRENCH BRIDE Simplicity was the keynote of the wedding of the Aga Khan, one of India's wealthiest princes, and Mdlle. Andree Carron, which was celebrated at Aix-ies-Bains recently. Only the presence of newspaper correspondents and photographers, and the enormous throng of spectators, made the wedding different from that of the humblest French citizen. Mdlle. Carron, who is the 31-year-old daughter of a modest Chamberry family, preceded the Aga Khan, entering the Mairie on the arm of her witness, M. Antone Borrel, Deputy of the Savoy. The bridegroom followed with two
Imams of the Paris Mosque dressed in flowing white robes. Following the civil marriage, the Imams of the Paris Mosque intoned the Mahommedan service. The only article of jewellery worn by the bride was an exquisite diamond and emerald necklace. It is expected that the Aga Khan will take his bride—whose official title is “Her Highness Begum Aga Khan” —to India in a few months’ time. When they return to France the princely pair will make their home on an estate some three miles from Aix-les-Bains, which the Aga Khan has purchased, and upon which he intends to build a residence.
A JUSTIFICATION FOR PROCRASTINATION The instinctively tidy woman always puts all her colthes away the moment she takes them off. In this she is not always wise, because summer frocks and dance frocks that have spent some hours in a smoky and overheated atmosphere are all the better for hanging in a current of air for some time before they retire, to their proper place in the wardrobe.
