Translation of an article published in the first ^7e
o± Newspaper "All-Suhafi al Taiah" of Beyrout No•^'7
dated 15th July 1936,
The Amir or Bahrain anc. the beautiful Scottish lady«
London is being visited today by the Amir of Bahrain,
King of Pearls and Master of the Coast.
The Amir of Bahrain, of the AlKhalifah family, is
advanced in age. He might be in the sixtieth year of his
age. He himself does not know exactly how many years he has
lived, We said advanced in age, but he has the spirit of
youth (green).
He was able to increase the number of his lovely wives
during his Inst visit to London. He has good taste and
likes clean (beautiful) faces. He was able to add a new
wife to the number of his wives. This wife is Miss Clara
Lindman Scholar the well known youthiUl Scottish
orientalist who became fond of Arab princes, their manners
and customs. She was dreaming of becoming an Arab princess*
This was brought into reality during the present visit of the
Amir of Bahrain to London. She introduced herself to him,
made herself charming and so made him love her. So he
married her recently in a special ceremony held at the London
Mosque in which the bride appeared wearing a ctess wholly
covered with pearls.
It is worth mentioning that Miss Clara Lindman Scholar
is wealthy and holds a high position in the world of
literature (in England). She formerly tried to approach
King Faisal. She visited him in Iraq and tried to win his
heart, but the pure monarch had not an adventurous spirit
nor the desire for such a thing so he sent her back and she
failed®
