Several named women.
Jessie and Francie Stevens talk about tipping (and men). Danielle Foussard and Francie Stevens have a long underhanded disagreement, mostly about which of them is more suitable for the protagonist, John Robie.

Jessie and Francie do talk several times about things other than men. However the scene where Danielle and Francie vie for John Robie's attentions (on a swimming platform), does not qualify - the conversation is about how long Robie and Danielle have known each other, or is about how old Francie looks, but between Robie and Danielle. (Two 25-year-old women fighting over a 50-year-old man: welcome to the world-of-film...)
