This is a 49yo widow living in and working in a hotel in Los Angeles, CA. She is the line highlighted in yellow.

In the 1910 census she was widowed (but living with her older kids) and listed her job as laundress at a hotel.

I have a guess, but don't want to sway opinion!

Copying and googling the way Ancestry transcribed it gets me Star Wars references!

This is an ad for the hotel from 1911 (after it was rebuilt after a fire): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/The_Raymond_Hotel%2C_Pasadena%2C_CA_1911_ad.jpg

So it was a fancy hotel if that helps with job possibilities.
