yell in high school. The English
yelling is so very different from
ours. | saw boys school playing
rugby match the other day and
the boys were all together. When
the time came to yell, there was no
rashing as we do but just low gut
teral roar in one word-school 1t is
very impressive though with every
one yelling. Another thing, they
never guy the other side. That
would be very unsportsmanlike and
most of the game is played in abso-
lutte silence as there is no individual
yelling. If a touchdown is scored
they say well played, JONES'" or
Well played, Smith" and clap.
thought | would faint the other day
when | saw them serving French
Pastry to the rugby players between
halves, | saw Ford advertisement
yesterday "The quintessence of eco
nomlcal transportation" Doesn't
that sound English, though? They
take half column to say mo smok-
mi" in railroad car.
l don't use the long "a" in saving
glass and bath yet. but I'm picking up
their two expressions Jolly Well"
and Fed Up" that is, tired of some
thing.
went to our chapel this morning
TO service, the one in Hartford Col
lege. 1t is beautiful place costing

dollars. Everything is hand carved
Ihey have beautiful organ and
fine bunch of choir boys. 1t re-

do you think Of that?
There Is an American LADY, here
from Boston. She has been here
twenty years or more and is the
mother of the Rhodes scholars. She
has open house every Sunday after
noon and usually has some little girls
present. Went out this afternoon
and found about twenty boys and
eight girls, This is q bachelors life
and it was certainly a relief to tank
70 a girl again. j met mighty nice
American girl who has just graduated
from Wellesley and is now attending
Oxford.
There is a right interesting little
event happened the other day among
the boys. One of the boys in our
crowd coming over on the Aquitania
last month met the daughter of Mr..
DUPONT, the rich powder man. The
girl is multi-millionaire. We were
travelling second-class, but this bow
was hanging around her in first-class
all the way over. She and her mother
went to France. We knew they got
to be pretty good friends on the boat,
but we were all surprised when she
and her mother came to Oxford to
spend the weekend with him. Some
of the boys went around this after.
noon to see him. They knew he was
having tea for her and they wanted
to embarrass him. He saw them COM
ing and stonned them and begged
them not to come in as he didn't have
enough tea cups. His name is Bur-
lingham from New Hampshire.
We have heard that cotton is in an
awful condition in the South and
that there are night riding parties
threatening any one who sells, etc.
] wonder is this is true.
A peculiar thing happened at Mrs.
Coachers this afternoon. She
wouldn't let the boys and the girls
go out of the door together. You
can't even be seen on the streets
with a girl at Oxford without chap
erone either in the day or the night,
and l understand that if you call on
one you must have a chaperone pres
ent. If you are seen on the streets
with a girl, the college proctors (col-
lege policemen get you.
It's get pretty lonesome. so write
often. Your affectionate brother
