One may attend the "pictures" once the other evenings one has to wander around like a lost
sheep, or alt in a bar and drink,
etc. If one should dross, and go. to hotel dance, there are, no dances to be had. In fact at
Singapore, at the Raffies Hotel,
beenuse we saw fwo ladies sitting out, and asked for a dancë, we were informed by one of the staff that it was not allowed, and that if we did it again the police would be sent for, We were greatly amazed, but after telling the man that we would conform to their rule, we ventured to remark that in civilised places such as Europe; America, Australia,, etc., gentle- men were expected to ask ladies. to dance, if they had no partner.
