I found this one to be particularly interesting. Based Jule Cantwell and Helen Unger was right on with "lots" - it remains quiet popular!

    I also like that they list Helen's profession as "home girl ", which has since become a slang term itself, the original use being more or less extinct 😁

    Curious what that profession actually is, is it a wife/"homemaker"? Or a paid profession that I couldn't find on Google? I really tried to find that phrasing but in my defense I'm drunk and also Google sucks nowadays.

    I would guess she is simply a girl who hasn't left home yet?

    Today she would probably be a student, but she isn't studying anything. Maybe she plans to become a housewife rather than train for a career, as that was a viable "career path" in those days.
