Dear Friends,
Having been sent the following definition of a Dowager:-
Dowager \Dow"a*ger\, n. [OF. douagiere, fr. douage dower. See
Dower.]
1. (Eng. Law) A widow endowed, or having a jointure; a widow
who either enjoys a dower from her deceased husband, or
has property of her own brought by her to her husband on
marriage, and settled on her after his decease. --Blount.
- I realize I can't possible be a widow. Guess I'll just have to settle for
the "endowed" bit :)
So - the male lace makers who've been here since 1995, will henceforth just
have to be referred to as "Endowed Arachnes" as distinct from our "Dowagers".
