Had a mail from home today. Dike has met the Queen of the Human Race, so mother tells me. She said Dike said she was a nice little girl.

Beginnin' to think I'm not going to drop off after all. I c'n still feel that sun in the form of a stiff neck and a slight hang-over. No tennis this week.

Walker put his knee out jumping over tables and sich like, in a fit of revelry the other night. Strangely enough, he was practically sober, and was only pretending he was soused.
