Show . A TROUSERS EVENT. "I had the good luck to be invited to dine with the King at Marlborough house when I was in London in June' said a Western millionaire. "As J don't know how to dress the part of a royal guest, I wrote to Lord Knollys, the King's secretary, and asked help. "Lord Knollys said in hie reply: " 'As no ladies are to be present, trousers may be worn.' "When I first read that sentence I said to myself: 'What kind of Neronic revels go on at Marlborough house anyway! "Afterwards though, I learned that Lord Knollys only meant that at mixed dinners knee breeches were worn at Marlborough house, at stag ones, the prdinery evening suit sufficing."
