Origin Of Spinster.

"spinster." ss4d The philologist "is
the term that the law applies to the
woman who is unmarried. The origin
Of the word dates back to the days
when spinning was not done by ma
cninery, but by hand. At that time
every girl learned to spin, as matter
of course, the same as she now learns
to spell. She was obliged to spin q
couple Of hours every day, and what
she produced belonged to her. Thus.
every girl, by the time she came to
get married, owned a great quantity
of linen Of her own make that she
brought, as kind of dover, to her
husband. Every girls leisure, up al
most to her wedding day. was devoted
to the spinning of linen for use in the
household Of her spouse. Therefore,
every unmarried girl was called q
spinster."
