They are under the absolute control of the purchaser and mistress, the control of the mistress being general over all the inmates alike, and that of the purchaser being confined to her special property. The mistresses are not appointed. They usually commence as servants in some brothels, and through judicious investments in small girls in the course of time, save a little money, with which to purchase other girls and so on until they become the mistresses of regular establishments.

Every mistress is the possessor of some ten or twelve girls purchased with her own money. The earnings of these belong entirely to the mistress.
