《女士表》将观众直接放在纽约一家普通餐厅的前窗外面。观众的目光投向了菜单卡片和橱窗陈列柜中鲜艳的绘画食物以及前倾调整它们的女服务员，进入了抛光的木头、瓷砖地板和墙壁镜子的内部，在那里，男人和女人吃饭，收银员在收银台办理业务。霍珀在画室里画了这幅大画布，画的是他在当地餐馆制作的草图。然而，尽管明亮的灯光和温暖，甚至花哨，颜色，这不是一个特别喜庆的场景。两个用餐者彼此聊天，但出纳员和女服务员却失去了各自的想法和责任。和霍珀的许多作品一样，霍珀间接地评论了那么多城市居民所经历的孤独和疲倦。尽管霍珀不愿将历史背景赋予他的作品，但这幅画也谈到了这个时代的一些社会变化。例如，它代表了妇女在公共场合所扮演的新角色；例如，出纳员和服务员都是在家外工作的妇女。这个标题还暗示了最近的一项社会创新，即餐饮机构为了欢迎新近移动的女性顾客而登出“女士餐桌”的广告。过去，人们常常认为独自在餐馆或酒吧出现的妇女是妓女，她们是为了找生意；现在，她们自己或和其他妇女一起吃饭，就会受到尊重。此外，这幅画的日期还提醒我们，在大萧条时期，霍珀住在纽约，当时许多美国人连外出就餐都付不起，甚至在这样一个朴素的机构里。

Tables for Ladies places the viewer directly outside the front window of an ordinary restaurant in New York City. The viewers gaze is directed past the menu cards and the vividly painted foods in the window display and the waitress who leans forward to adjust them, into an interior of polished wood, tiled floors, and wall mirrors where a man and woman eat and a cashier attends to business at her register. Hopper painted this large canvas in the studio, working from sketches that he had made of local restaurants. Yet despite the bright lighting and the warm, even garish, colors, this is not a particularly festive scene. The two diners chat between themselves, but the cashier and the waitress are lost in their separate thoughts and duties. As in many of his works, Hopper indirectly comments on the loneliness and weariness that so many city dwellers experience.Despite Hoppers reluctance to assign historical context to his work, this painting also speaks of several social changes of the era. For example, it represents the new roles that women were occupying in public; both the cashier and the waitress, for example, are women working outside the home. The title also alludes to a recent social innovation, in which dining establishments advertised tables for ladies in order to welcome their newly mobile female customers. In the past, it had often been assumed that women appearing alone in restaurants or bars were prostitutes in search of business; now, dining on their own or with other women, they would be treated respectfully. In addition, the date of this painting serves as a reminder that Hopper was living in New York during the Great Depression, when many Americans could not afford to dine out, even at such an unpretentious establishment as this one.
