When Cis returned home one evening and declared that the forewoman at the factory had asserted that there were stars everywhere in the sky by day as well as by night, and no plain spots at all anywhere; and, further, that if anybody were at the bottom of a deep well he or she could see stars in the sky in the daytime, Johnnie had fairly hooted at the tale.
Young Jerome-Denis Rogron entered the establishment of one of the largest wholesale mercers in the same street, the Maison Guepin, at the "Three Distaffs." When Sylvie Rogron, aged twenty-one, had risen to be forewoman at a thousand francs a year Jerome-Denis, with even better luck, was head-clerk at eighteen, with a salary of twelve hundred francs.
I have often wondered, on waking winter mornings in my very warm bed, how it would feel to go out in the gray dawn of a new day and hurry off to work. Now I know. For more than a week I have been up at five forty-five, and at six-thirty have been hurrying with Lucy Hobbs, who lives around the corner, to the overalls-factory, where she is a forewoman.
Ridge had been appointed forewoman. Just before noon she reported to Mary. "There'll be a lot more tomorrow," she said. "When these get home, they'll do nothing but talk about it; and I keep hearing of women who are fixing things up at home so they can come in the morning. So don't you worry, Miss Spencer, this strike isn't going to hurt you none, but Ha-ha-ha!
At last they went to work beside a long table where each had her own drawer and her own tools. An order had been received for mourning jewels, and haste was essential.

Miss Tonker's praises always pared off on one side what they put on upon another.
The action of the play began, as Russ clicked away at the handle of his machine. Suddenly a girl screamed. "Oh, what is it?" demanded Miss Pennington, jumping up. "Sit down! You'll spoil the film!" cried Mr. Pertell. There was a little confusion for a moment. "It's only one of the girls who has run a needle into her finger," the forewoman explained. "It often happens.
