" Do you know her? " the Englishman asked.

What a lot of strategy he has missed !
(The manner in which Old Boys responded to the M.S.S. appeal gladdened the hearts of the Committee. We sincerely hope to keep up the circulation, but this can only be done if the Old Boys keep religiously in touch with us. It will be for our benefit and their own. Several men who are probably willing to subscribe, but have not yet communicated with the business manager, are asked to do so as soon as possible, to avoid disappointment, as the business manager can only tell by the receipt of sub- scriptions whether the Graduates wish to subscribe.
Also, all news about Old Boys will be welcome, SCANDAL preferred !!)

From Lance Sleeman, Wonthaggi :—Had a cable from my brother Garnet two days ago, intimating safe arri- val by " Orontes " at home. Says he's in camp, but did not state the place. He had a good time going over. The " Bight " was a litle rough. Enough for Lieut. Petre, of Aviation School, who would rather have been in an aeroplane in a blizzard. Dr. Coch- rane, whom you mentioned as locuming in your last issue, is here with his wife, doing a locum for Tarle- ton, an elderly Queenslander who bought Looney's practice, the latter having gone home as one of the number for duty there. Dr. Tarleton's anounce- ment in the press is that he is conducting his prac- tice " at the late Dr. Looney's surgery." I wonder how Tut. would appreciate that. For the informa- tion of any of you who may be attending a "middy,"
and dubious as to your fee, there is a claim before birth by which you might get the fruits of your own as well as her labour.
