! Origin or Familiar Words. I
Husband j is the bouseherd one who
keeps the family together by supporting
it. - Sometimes the wife is, practically,
the husband, i j
Wife means a weaver one who makes
the cloth which dresses the family.
Spinster is she who spins the yarn
which makes the cloth which covers the
family. ' j
Lady is compounded of words which
mean to give away, to dispense charity to
the poor.
The heirloom of a family is literally
the apparatus for weavinjcloth. In early
history it waa an indispensable article of
household furniture, was well taken care
of aad lasted for generations; was kept in
afiectionate memory of those who bad
gone before. In Qermany and Holland
the j petticoat was considered the heir
loom, worn by mother and daughter, aad
granddaughter sometimes; so well were
they made, and of so substantial a mate
rial, and so cleanly kept, that they seem
ed a'moet to never wear out.
