] In the American South, we still refer to the women's restroom/washroom/bathroom as the "Ladies' Room."

Yes, I know that, but the problem is whether they could use the term openly in those days or had to think of some euphemism not to appear vulgar. I think that the term Ladies Room was perfectly acceptable as it was a kind of euphemism itself.
