A girl who didn't marry took in sewing for the neighbors, and as like as not went to live with her married sister and looked after her babies.

I've seen all these things change.

Nowadays girls have got to have excitement.

They like spending their days in the big buildings; the men in the offices jolly them, the men bookkeepers and clerks seem a lot nicer than the mechanics that live out in their neighborhood.

When they ain't busy they loaf in the halls of the buildings flirting, or reading novels and talking to their bosses' callers.
