workgirl

I was able to converse at my ease with my pretty workgirl, to whom our conversation was equally agreeable and who sustained her part excellently.

The eight girls were seated around the travail—that is the name now given to the large cutting table; it used to be called �tabli, but that word is now used only by working people; and you must remember that a dressmaker is not a workgirl, but an artist in dresses.

And when “Pages of a Workgirl’s Diary” was published in a liberal journal, its success and the newspaper coverage of her escapade were delicious.

Sally had long been able to behave as somebody other than a workgirl, and the servants were so well-behaved that they did not make any attempt to be too much at ease with her.

So the workgirl's weekly expenses for food, fire, and lodging are 5 marks 20 pf., but this does not give her an evening meal or afternoon coffee.
