'FATHER-IN-LAW.
.AVERS FAROUK
WE'D FOR LOVE.
Chose Farida for Her
Beauty, Says Pasha

CAIRO, Jan. 20 GNS0 1.-The
mind and heart of King Farouk of
Egypt worked hand in hand"
when he chose beautiful Farida
zulfikar for his queen. the brides
happy father told International
News Service today.
The father, YouSsef Zulfikar
Pasha, senior justice of the mixed
appellate court of Alexandria, re-
vealed that Farouk went about
the work of courtship in a busi-
ness-like way, choosing Farida for
his queen because she was young,
eligible and beautiful. and then
fell head over heels in love with
her.
EUROPEAN ROMANCE
EouSsef, tall and courtly and
speaking excellent English, was
unable to reveal just when and
where cupid caught up with the
betrothed couple, but said the
arrow struck while both we're
travelling in Europe last summer.
His Majesty wished to
marry" Youssef said. "He chose
Farida for his queen. and then
like magic-they found they
were in love. 1t was a case of
mind and heart working in per-
feet unison"
Youssef was asked whether the
gifted Farida had abandoned any
promising career for marriage.
This is Egypt, not America"
YouSsef replied. Here mar
riage is woman's whole career"
COLLECTED P CTJRES
Reminiscing on the romance,
the brides father revealed that
Farouk had ransacked his home
for pictures of Farida, appropriate
ing the entire family album for
himself and f1lching every portrait
he could lay his hands on.
However, he did leave us
one" Youssef said. AN official
portrait issued by the royal
palace.
This has proved to be not a
royal match in the ordinary
sense of the phrase. 1t is real
love. King Farouk chose care
fully, deliberately and wisely.
My daughter will make him a
loving wife and, 1 am sure, a
good queen"

the palace and went to the room
where she was supposed to wait
in complete seclusion, unseen by
man or even by woman attend
ants, while the simple Moslem rite
of signing the marriage contract
no other ceremony was called for
took place in another chamber.
FATHER is WITNESS
Her father, YousSef zulfikar
Pasha, senior justice of the mixed
appellate court of Alexandria, act
ing as hei witness, went to the
drawing room and austerely signed
the marriage document with King
Farouk.
Probably neither the bridegroom
nor the learned Judge realized that
at that moment they were being
watched by the eyes Of the waiting
girl who saw herself transformed
into Egypt'S queen.
Queen Farida is the second
Egyptian queen since Cleopatra,
In 81 B. c., that sirens army was
defeated by Caesar. and Egypt
had no queen until Farouk'S
mother assembled the throne along
side the late King Fuad, when he
was proclaimed king in 1922.
The wedding was the first royal
matrimonial event since the days
of the Pharoahs, inaSmuch as
Fuad already was married when
he was handed the Scepter.
Not only did she miss her wed
ding, but the Egyptian beauty saw
little Of her 18-year-old regal huS-
band today.
WAITS FOR KING
The only public ceremony in
which she participated was the
picturesque procession from her
fathers home at Heliopolis to
Koubbeh. Upon arrival at the
palace, she took over her new
apartments to await the Kings ar
rival.
While she waited, the King at
tended a banquet with Egyptian
princes and the newly-formed cabi
net, which was organized after
he forced Premier Nahas Pasha
out of office in a struggle over
questions of royal prerogative.
Late in the evening Farouk will
join his bride for the first time
to witness a great fete on the Nile.
But the youthful King saw to
it personally that his Queen had
a superb trouSSeau of As gowns
and coats.
Her wedding gown, designed in
Paris but made in Egypt, was the
most magnificent of all-silver
lace over satin, with an eight
yard court train of clustering sill.
yer lame and a sheer tulle veil
held by diadem.
GLITTERS WITH GOLD
-Four court dresses glittered with
gold and precious stones. One was
designed in peach-rose and en-
hroidered with water-drop pearls.
The lame train-24 feet long-was
trimmed with blue velvet and
white ermine, with a brocade de-
sign of lotus foliage and a quarter
moon on which a verse from the
Koran was inscribed in gold. The
train alone was said to have cost
$4,000.
Tonight's affair on the Nile,
with scores of boats lighting up
the famed stream, marks the be-
ginning of season of rejoicing.
Today was a holiday, and in.
Vulnerable thousands of Farouk's
subjects, who have stood by him
in his recent political crisis,
thronged the streets.

Tomorrow Boy Scouts and Girl
Guides from all parts of Egypt
