Ties In Hotels
Sir, —In reply to my letter Miss Olliver has used the politicians trick of answering a question not asked. May I therefore restate my contention in a more simple way: (1) Wearing a tie with a turtleneck shirt is not correct oress. (2) Properly worn, this shirt is correct dress in an elegant bar among mixed company. (3) Refusing a drink to a man solely because he is thus attired is as ridiculous as refusing one to a clergyman who declines to wear a tie over his clerical collar. I share the same desire as Miss Olliver to see the new Warner’s Tavern a bright, pleasant, and respectable place. However, management needs flair and style as well as “a great deal of work and money.” May I therefore respectfully suggest Warner’s management consult any knowledgeable men'swear retailer and bring up to date its ideas on the turtleneck.—Yours, etc., DULCE EST DESIPERE August 7, 1968.
[Miss L. I. Olliver, secretary to the board of Square Freeholds, Ltd, replies: “Any person who prefers to wear the new-style turtleneck shirt is welcome in Warners Tavern at any time.”] [This correspondence is now closed.—Ed., “The Press.’’]
