SAILORS BALL
At THE SEASIDE

Waikiki will be the rallying point
for the sailors again tonight, when the
ball for the bluejackets win be given
at the Seaside. The big dancing floor
there and the elaborate decorations will
be the same for the sailors as they were
for the officers on Friday night There
will be the best music procurable and
everything else that the committee can
supply to make the sailors ball huge
success. The dancing public of Homo
lulu is invited to turn out and give the
visitors good time.
1t was at the suggestion of the wife
of a prominent feet officer that the bali
to the sailors is being given. The lady
in question, while sitting out a dance
at the big ball last Friday evening ask
ed several social ladies of Honolulu why
ball had not been arranged in honor
of the sailors and the ladies of the city
invited to dance with them.
"Will you be at the ball If one is
given7'' asked one of the town ladies.
"Why, of course was the quick
response, "the officers wives are al
ways glad to go and dance with the
boys. Why not?''
Thus Honolulu need not be surprised
if at the ball tonight the very stately
wife of a very high officer of the fleet
leads in the first dance with sailor
boy from the lower decks.
