Fairchild's Dictionary of Textiles, 1979, defines cravenette as a "Registered
trademark of Crown Metro Inc., The Cravenette Company Division, for a
durable and renewable water repellent treatment applied to woolen and worsted
fabrics and apparel. The term was coined by a Bradford, England, manufacturer
named Wiley who, for want of a better name, used the street on which he lived,
Craven Street, London. The original method was discovered about 60 years
ago."

Dear WW: many of those spelling bee words are quite inappropriate in my estimation.
The sponsors seem to think they have to play dirty to eliminate very able contenders
in order to finally get a winner.
