It'll take the shine out of all the boilers up here.

Did I tell you about gloves?
The knowing ones mostly sport lavender; but the outsiders don't wear any, except at the first call- over in the term, when of course it's compulsory.

One muff last term got pretty well lammed because he only had two-button gloves instead of six.

I believe one or two others were just as bad, only they didn't get kotched; but it was a lesson to them.

I wonder if young Brown will be up to the tips, or whether he'll turn up in black boots instead of tan.
I sha'n't write to him, because he's a town-boy, and it would be low.
Ta-ta.
