THE COURTESY OF THE SAILOR.
Sir,—l have seen letters discussing the objection to the presence of His Majesty s men in dance halls. It seems strange to me, for I havn noted the free, warmhearted nattiro of men in the sailor garb whenever they see any maiuor lass whom they think requires thei* assistance. Getting into the Takapuna bus at Devonport the other day 1 cast my eyes about for a seat. The bus was packed full, but a sailor in uniform smartly jumped to his feet, out of a crowd of young people, caught me, and landed me in his seat. Nor would he take any denial, but stood up for tho journey. This was done on two occasions. Almost a Centenarian.
