In World War I camps, Hostess Houses run by the Young Women's Christian Association provide homey spaces for soldiers and visiting girlfriends or wives. The program faced initial resistance from older officers but gained support as the benefits became clear, offering directions, comfort, and private corners for couples as service members train.
A commentator argues soldiers’ social needs in wartime are met by Hostess House and a Quantico recreation hall with 3500 capacity. He notes weekly dances, dual Marine bands, YSA chaperones, and enlisted floor managers. The piece defends mixing society life with war duties as part of a cross section of American society and military discipline.
