He sends out for every daily paper and all the news magazines, Headquarters for Indian royalty seems to be the Waldorf-Astoria, which makes a point of opening its kitchens to Hindu cooks so that they may prepare food in the manner prescribed by their religion. The most distinguished Indian guest was his highness the Ma- harajah of Indore, Sir Yeshwant Rao Helkar. who traveled with his wife, daughter and a whole retinue of cooks and other servants. During his stay the Maharajah served a great feast for local notables. The menu included pheasant, duck, chicken, lamb, home-made whole wheat bread fried in butter, curried vegetables and two or three kinds of sauce. Beef and pork are forbidden by Hindu religion.
