FOYER POUR MIDINETTES SIGN, PARIS Painted metal, rectangular shape, inscribed "Ruche Parisienne - Foyer pour jeunes filles - Midinettes - chambre meublées". Second half of the 19th century. Height. 60 cm; Width. 45 cm. Slight wear and oxidation. In the 19th century, the term "midinettes" was used to describe young workers or saleswomen in Parisian dressmaking establishments, who had to make do with a very basic midday meal or "dinette". "It's midday. From all the fashion houses and couture houses in the neighborhood, the midinettes take flight. And it's a most "Parisian" sight to see them go off in pairs or groups down the rue des Petits-Champs and the neighboring streets. The Parisian language has the secret of pretty and expressive words. The name Midinettes, tinkling and clear, where one immediately finds Midi and dinette, designates the workers of the fashion and sewing houses who, unable to return home at midday, take their lunch around the quartier de la Paix. There's a lot of talk about them at the moment, as there's talk of creating a mutual aid society for them: l'OEuvre des Midinettes". Fémina, October 1, 1902.

Regrets that the grapes sent to him arrived in poor condition. He tells of Willette's wedding: "He had received threats from 'la Crâneuse', and was somewhat worried, so he mobilized a few concierges and charcoal burners to stand guard outside the door"; he came by automobile carriage "which had all the trouble in the world to get up rue Lepic", then there was lunch at Julien's. He will try to make the wedding a success. He's going to try to do some good work: "I'm taking Pelletan's drawings and I also have to do the poster for the Journal these days - I'm in a hurry -. We only live on Gil Blas"... Monday noon [September 7th]. He sends her money because he has had "a visit from a young American artist who bought me 2 drawings for 300 frs" and mother Embry has sold "the painting (woman and men under the gas burner) the pastel, the yellow woman - and a drawing for 150 frs - that makes 800 frs in all"...
