If you don't like my doings, Hattie Krakow, there ain't no law says we gotta room together. I been shifting for myself ever since I was cash-girl down at Tracy's, and I ain't going to begin being bossed now. If you don't like my keeping steady with Charley Chubb if you don't like his sheet-music playing you gotta lump it! I'm a good girl, I am; and if you got anything to in-sinuate; if "
"I'm a cash-girl in a big store," said Nellie with some pride, for many little girls are not smart enough to hold such a position. "I thought all children had to go to school," Aunt Sarah said to Mrs. Manily. "So they do," replied the matron, "but in special cases they get permission from the factory inspector. Then they can work during the day and go to school at night."
As Babbitt sneaked from Floral Heights down to the Bunch, so the young gallants sneaked from the proprieties of the Bunch off to "times" with bouncing young women whom they picked up in department stores and at hotel coatrooms. Once Babbitt tried to accompany them. There was a motor car, a bottle of whisky, and for him a grubby shrieking cash-girl from Parcher and Stein's.
At eleven, when her mother died, she ran away from the wretched children's home to which she had been committed, and by putting up a piteous tale she was harbored on the West Side by an Irish family whose two daughters were clerks in a large retail store. Through these Claudia became a cash-girl. Thereafter followed an individual career as strange and checkered as anything that had gone before.
A cash-girl, her eyeballs glazed like those of a wounded hare in the torture of the chase, found a pile of pasteboard boxes behind a door, and with the indifference of exhaustion dropped on to it asleep. The tide flowed on, and ever and again back upon itself. A Santa Claus in a red canton-flannel coat lost his white canton-flannel beard, nor troubled to recover it.
I believe you read them at half-hour intervals all week, and on Sunday get 'em all out and play solitaire with them." Emma McChesney's smile widened frankly to a grin. "You make me feel like a cash-girl who's been caught flirting with the elevator starter. Have I been neglecting business?" "Business? No; you've been neglecting me!"
She had been working, since she was fifteen, at all sorts of odd jobs: cash-girl in a department store; running errands for a fashionable modiste; cashier in a dairy lunch-room; making picture-frames.
Some of the girls who knew Nan came up now and told her how Nellie, the little cash-girl, had been taken sick and had had to be removed to the hospital tent over in the other mountain. This was sad news to Nan, for she loved the little cash-girl, and hoped to see her and perhaps have her pay a visit to Aunt Sarah's. "Is she very sick?" Aunt Sarah asked the matron. "Yes indeed," the other replied.

From nowhere appeared a bustling weighty woman, purring, "Hello, hello, hello, is it possible that you're all up Mr. Daggett. Yes, do lead me to the kidneys." And a man with the gray hair of a grandfather and the giggle of a cash-girl bounced in clamoring, "Mornin' expected to have bruncheon alone do we have some bridge? Oh, good morning, Mr. Daggett, how do you like Seattle?
