"This figure of the dwarf, taken at an evening party in Kimberley,
South Africa, was impersonated by my brother and a friend as follows: My
brother stood upright with his hands on a table (these forming the feet
of the dwarf), on which were placed stockings and small shoes. He had a
little garment made with sleeves, through which his friend, who stood
just behind, put his arms and hands, on which were mittens to make them
look small; these formed the hands of the dwarf. My brother was adorned
with a large sun hat called a 'cappie,' goggles, and a necklace, and the
dwarf was complete--his friend, of course, being concealed by
curtains."--Mr. F. E. Glover, 41, Drayton Park, Highbury, N.
