Does she appear to
be living all alone. At the age of 19, I'd have thought she'd be living
with
her family, but there doesn't appear to be anyone around her that looks
like
family.




dw says:

She is living in the household of Christian August Christensen Løhren, a
commandersergeant, and his family. She is a servant doing housework and a
waitress in a delicatessen. Note the woman of the household operates the
delicatessen.

It isn't unusual, at all, for a nineteen year old to be away from home
working. It would probably be more unusual if she weren't. You'll see girls
several years younger who are working away from home.
