say gooqby to the soldiers before
leaving the hall, and the girls are 10
remain in the hall until the soldiers
have left. No guest or member OF the
club will be permitted to allow any
soldier to accompany her home. nor
is it permitted to allow a soldier 70
meet her after the dance downtown
or elsewhere. Failure to comply with
these rules will be cause for a guest
to forfeit her invitation card.
Can't Go Home With Them.
Another set of rules is issued gov
erning the Sunday afternoon entertain
nents Guests may invite soldiers to
their homes or accompany them to
dinners, with the consent of the ger
eral hostesses for the day and of the
guests individual hostess. but the
guests may not go with soldiers to any
kind of dancing party after the din
ner The guests are not expected TO
go to their own homes, or any one
else's home, or to any hall, for dancA
ing after the parties. When num-
Der of the young women with group
of the soldiers go to any of the ZONES
after the dinner, they must be accom-
panied by some member of the club.
The regulations are made solely to
keep the standard of the entertain
ments above criticism.
The rules which the girls invited to
the Rota club community house par
ties are required to sign have been APP
proved by the vice commissioners of
the Fosdick commission.
The rules are not a reflection on the
soldier guests, nor are they a reflec-
ton on the character of the girls
themselves The sole purpose of the
rules is to obviate any possible chance
for injury to either girls or soldiers by
the wagging tongues of irresponsible
persons.
