[lace-chat] Dowagers

[David Collyer]

Dear Friends,
Having been sent the following definition of a Dowager:-

Dowager \Dowa*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.

All the chat on Lace about dowagers reminds me
of a line -

Dame Joan Sutherland was singing in Chicago, and
one of the audience commented Fancy calling a
nice broad like that a dame
