I don't understand this part. Why would she be paid to get up from a table with her escort and go to the powder room? Was it so the others she was with could discuss something private? Can someone explain this?

In nicer restaurants and clubs, there would be a lady in the powder room to assist customers. She would hand you a fresh hand towel and had various things for sale such as a comb or lady products. You were expected to tip even if you did not purchase anything.
