[83] A "line up" is the ruin of a girl who flirts with men and accepts
their advances and immoral suggestions. Finally she yields to an
invitation to visit a furnished room and the word quickly passes among the
"gang." One by one the boys and men, perhaps only two or three, perhaps
more, visit this room.

business in some private place, until they were fitted for the public
houses.

It is further to be remembered, in accounting for the disproportionate
number of servants among those arrested, that, as Miss Jane Addams has
pointed out, many of these girls have had such brief periods of domestic
employment that they cannot fairly be reckoned in the servant class. They
describe themselves as such merely in default of any other convenient
term; they may have served for a few days here or there, but, strictly
speaking, they have no calling at all.
