Ties In Hotels
Sir, —I fully agree with “Dulce Est Desipere’s” remarks regarding a belief of the management of Warners Tavern. Apparently a turtleneck shirt is acceptable to wear to a ball, but not at Warners. This style of shirt has become socially acceptable overseas for formal occasions but in true New Zealand form a few hidebound persons in authority lag behind as usual. Miss Olliver’s statement concerning regular evening patrons preferring to be .correctly dressed for an evening’s entertainment puts Warners’ conception of correct dress as collar and tie, whereas in reality correct dress for an evening’s entertainment could range from pyjamas for a pyjama party through to a dinner suit and turtleneck shirt, depending on the function one was attending. I sincerely hope Warners remove the signs re-
quiring the wearing of a tie and substitute ones bearing the words, "respectably dressed.”—Yours, etc., TURTLENECK. August 7, 1968.
