Maitre Hauchecorne was a careful, frugal, and honest peasant in Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Piece of String." He was wrongly accused of stealing a pocketbook, and his persistence in trying to clear his name highlights his sense of honor and dignity. His refusal to accept injustice reflects his strong character.
maitre d
Maitre means host. You might have heard of a maitre d', the full form of which is maitre d'hotel or something like that. It literally means host of the hotel

Romain Maitre was born on 1988-06-01.
Villars-Maitre-Chocolatier was created in 1901.
The spelling is maitre d' (with the hanging apostrophe) from the French maître d'hotel.
Martin Le Maitre was born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
Raymonde Maitre has written: 'Disraeli, homme de lettres'
It appears that even the French don't have a term for it; if you search it up, you will find references to "femme maitre d'" just as you find references to "female maitre d'." So the answer appears to be, simply, "female maitre d'," a term which certainly would upset NOW. If we make no gender distinction with "flight attendant," why make a gender distinction with maitre d'? By now, most English speakers don't even realize that maitre d' is male. Therefore, my suggestion is to call a female maitre d' simply a maitre d' and be done with it.
The person in charge of the 'front of house' is the Maitre'd (AKA Maitre d'hotel) and they are the head waiter.
A Maitre D can make anywhere between 15-25/hr or salary.
