        I checked the whole paragraph and the context for the word. The word is obsolescent and not used anymore. I would interpret it as an euphemism for a prostitute. The other interpretation would be that it refers to woman from high social class. But if you look at the context, you can see that all the occupations the narrator lists are working class occupations: shop assistants, dressmakers, working class daughters and servants.

        Politician's statues in Helsinki and Finland
        I’m afraid it is not possible to give an exact answer to this question. There are some printed sources like publication Sculptures and monuments in Helsinki,1982, published by the Helsinki City Tourist Office. That one is of course old and unfortunately they don’t publish it any more so there are not any newer versions. Then there are some books in Finnish, like Löytöretki muistomerkeille, pääkaupunkiseudun julkiset teokset, 2006, and Pää...12.7.2016 14:01Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

        There is a constant shortage of practice space in the Helsinki area for bands and people who want to play music. The City of Helsinki’s youth centers (in Finnish Nuorisotalo) offer some practice rooms to young musicians and bands around the city. In some cases they may even have drums or some other instruments. Some HelMet-libraries have small practice rooms and other music-related facilities, but the spaces are usually quite small and may not be suitable for a large group.

        The manuscript is almost certainly a Roman Catholic gradual book. It is highly unlikely that it is from the Graduale Aboense. I think you should show the manuscript to the faculty of music of your nearest university. I think the representatives of your nearest catholic church might also be able to tell more about your manuscript. Links: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduale_Aboense28.4.2012 22:23

The only description of the “Finnish star” I could find was in an English book, namely “Home made Christmas” by Tessa Evelegh (Cico Books 2009). In this book, the star is called simply “white paper star”. The author writes: “Try making this easy-to-make yet charming tree-top decoration based around the traditional Scandinavian papercrafts... “ (p. 58).

        Rut Bryk, Tapio Wirkkala and Timo Sarpaneva are unique artists, they cannot be produced industrially. Arabia and Iittala, however, still are strong brands and can find more excellent designers. So, with a bit of patience, they can grow artistically creative again. Also most of their good old designs still are available. Thank You, Sir, for Your interesting comment.21.1.2012 23:16Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

        Hi! Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds was created by a Spanish studio, BRB Internacional, and first broadcast in 1981. You aren't the only one who remembers the adventures of Dogtanian, Porthos, Aramis, Athos and a bunch of other canine characters. An Internet search for "dogtanian and the three muskehounds" will return articles, images and videos. (Quotation marks around the phrase give a focused search result.)
