Thalawar, who spoke on educational topics at the British Association meeting at Cardiff, and who takes a prominent place among Indian: reigning princes for the range of ihis studies and intellectual interests, has authorized an interesting. departure in the case of young Indians of high social positica educated in England.
His son, the Rajkumar, has arrived from India and is proceeding to Oxford, to study at the University, He is accompanied by his young wife, to whom he was niarried only a few months ago. They will live with a family, and she will study privately while her husband reads for a tegrze. She is the first Rajput lady of princely family from Rajputana to abandon the purdah system and to go to England with her husband. Many young Indians are married before going there to complete their education, but it is very rare in-. deed for' their wives to go with them, and this is probably the first. occasion on which a lady of high social position has done so.
