It might be, of course, that because a girl can live with a "gentleman friend" or be partially supported by a married man living in another town or another part of the same city, she will be able and willing to spend her days behind a counter for wages on which alone she could hardly keep soul and body together. Un- doubtedly it does work this way sometimes. But the bulk of the influence is the other way. The fact that wages are below decent subsistence level is a direct and powerful incentive ...to the self- sustaining girl to take the first step toward "easier" conditions.
Grant that most of her companions live at home and lead, as the world goes, perfectly normal and moral lives. This makes it all the harder for the girl in question. They may spend all their money 158 THE LODGING-HOUSE PROBLEM IN BOSTON on dress, theatre, and other pleasures ; she, though equally pretty, equally clever, with as good education, must pay the Uon's share of her wages for a cold hall-bedroom on some street most of her ac- quaintances never heard of, and for lonely breakfasts and suppers in cheap eating- places ; must go less well-dressed than they, and perhaps as time goes on, be a less efficient saleswoman because of her unequal struggle.
