Several of the officers spoke to the senior hostesses about the ap- preciation of the enlisted men for these parties, which give them an opportunity to meet young women of the kind they know In their home’| towns. Such dances, the officers| say, help make the boys feel 'at|thert won’t be hotel rooms for the home here and relieve the home-hhouunds who usually attend the | ickness among the newer recruits.| Hostesses who served last night include Mrs. Harry swmhouse,' Mrs. E.
