Best Answer

The correct form is "Refreshments were served by the ladies' husbands." The word is both a plural (there wasmore than one lady) and a possessive (the husbands belonged to them). The word lady is made plural byadding ans at the end, except you change the y to ie. Thus, one lady, two ladies. One baby, two babies. One gravy, two gravies. And so on. The possessive is shown by the apostrophe after the end of the word. It used to be "the ladieses husbands" but we don't say that last bit any more, so there is an apostrophe showing that it is left out.
