The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-05-31

the guests are the ones to be consid-
cred.
| AS to the much mooted question of
| the society ladies and the sailors and
their affinity for each other, the sailors
have answered that question them
selves, stating that they would prefer
to select their own partners for a
dance, ones congenial to themselves.
There has been a deal of bosh spoken
and written about this matter since
il was spoken of at one of the COM
mittee meetings and a great deal of
head shaking was INDUCED in by those
who feared that the sailors would take
offense at the question being raised.
Some forgot that the sailor is not any
more anxious to be patronized than
the society women are to patroniz7. No
one supposes that the society ladies of
Honolulu or San Francisco would at
tend a ball as partners for the rank
and file of the men of the battleships
because they would enjoy it, and no
one supposes that the average sailor
would consider it any great pleasure
TO dance with the same ladies. Both
would be embarrassed. And there is
no question of any snobbishness in
this, either, but again simply common
sense. Don't treat the sailor as a freak
or ask a class of people to meet him
who have no common interest with
him.
