At King George’s mammoth garden party (8000 invitations were issued) at Buckingham Palace Mr. V ill Crooks, M.P., in his billycock hat and m a faultless dress coat, attracted almost as much attention from the Royalties as the wonderfully-costumed Indian magnate, who was thus described in one of the London dailies: ‘‘A very stout man in virgin white; on hit.head was a flat cap, such as Crooks affects, but on tho top of it was a gold ornament very much like a miniature birdcage, such as fond fathers hang on Christinas trees. His coat was stiff linen, like an American barkeeper’s, sticking out all around. His round, ample body was swathed in a white-and-gold shawl, while his trousers were reminiscent of tho early Victorian days, when young girls wore pantalettes with frills at tho bottom, only the Indian gentleman’s readied to his" boots. Altogether ho was a most refreshing and original personage.”
