Plural Possessive

Really, the signs should read: Ladies' Room. It's the room belonging to the ladies. No one pays attention to that, but it still bothers me. 

If the plural already has its own spelling, as in children, then the apostrophe goes like this: the children's room.

So we have:
the people's ice cream
the men's hairstylist

And don't forget the pronouns: It's their apartment. (The apartment belongs to June and Ward.)
                                                    The apartment is over there by 72nd Street.
