# Angèle Dubos

Angèle Dubos (22 December 1844 − 26 November 1916) was a French painter from Normandy. Dubos was born Laure Constance Angèle Dubos in 1844 in L'Aigle in the north of France, and showed her works at the Paris Salon.

## Biography

Born in 1844 in the department of Orne, Angèle learned painting in Paris as a pupil of the French painter Charles Chaplin (1825-1891). Right from the start, the quality of her work attracted attention. Thus when she exhibited La Prière at the Salon of 1866, a columnist from the magazine Le Foyer said "... a talent that announced itself in such a naive and touching way, revealing serious and good qualities, auguring very well for the artistic future of Miss Dubos."
She was very active in art exhibitions, Parisian and regional, from 1867 to 1884. In 1873, she won the gold medal at an exhibition in Caen with her painting Rolande. The painting was then bought by the municipality for its museum. Dubos' technique was recognized and appreciated by her peers and critics. In 1876, a critic will say during the Salon of 1876 where she exhibited her painting La Sultane: "She paints in a friendly way, with enthusiasm, ease and softness in the execution." In 1886, in La Revue Normande et Parisienne, she is cited as one of Chaplin's best pupils when she exhibited her drawing Le Déjeûner de Mlle Rose.
Angèle married in her late 50's in June 1901, to Pierre Louis Bourdon, postmaster of Corrèze.
Her painting The New Song, dated 1879, was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.
She was a member of the Norman Academy and the date of her death is unknown although 26 November 1916 has been proposed.

# Rubber pants

Rubber pants or rubber panties were the predecessor to plastic pants and served the purpose of a diaper cover, replacing the woolen garment. However, "rubber pants" is still a generic term for any pull-on or snap-on incontinence protective garment.
Lacking a fly front, the traditional variant is a true panty. As an infants' garment they had fallen out of favor in the 1950s, but were still the primary adult incontinence protective garment and in that role were called "rubber bloomers".
Rubber pants for infants' wear over cloth diapers fell into two categories. Some were made of natural rubber and had rubber gathers at the waist and legs. The rubber pant itself was sized generously so the stretchy characteristic of rubber was not utilized and some air circulation took place within the oversized pants. Some were made of latex rubber that utilized the stretchy characteristic and fit very snugly over the diaper, leaving no air space.
Perhaps the best known of these stretchy latex pants were introduced by Playtex. Playtex baby pants stretched over the diaper much like rubber gloves are stretched over a hand. Undersized leg holes and waist opening allowed the stretchy latex rubber to seal against the skin to contain diaper wetness and therefore protect what ever the baby was placed upon. Ventilation was supposedly provided by two slots (holes) in the front of the pants up near the waist but they did little more than allow leakage onto the bed when baby slept on its stomach.
Stretchy, molded latex pants for adults are mostly limited to the fetish market, being supplied primarily as wear for "rubberists", who enjoy wearing rubber and latex. Molded latex pants for incontinent wear are not common but can be ordered over the Internet.
They have now been almost entirely replaced by plastic or waterproof textile panties as an infants' garment, when such is used over a diaper at all. Today they exist mainly in the adult incontinence market.
Modern Rubber Pants
Parents opting to cloth diaper their children now have several options in a diaper cover. They can use a wool cover, a polyurethane PUL or a breathable polar fleece cover. These modern rubber pants are plentiful and can be found all over the internet and at several large chain stores.

## History

Close to Woodstock village is Woodstock Ring, a prehistoric earthwork containing the possible traces of a building within, indicating habitation in prehistoric times.
Woodstock has been described as a modern village but the manor of Woodstock (along with that of Ambleston) was bequeathed by Sir James Perrot, son of Sir John Perrot to Francis Perrot, and then in 1642 to his nephew Herbert. In 1761, Herbert's descendant Sir John Perrot sold Woodstock to Admiral Thomas Tucker. The manor is mentioned many times in respect of indentures, grants and tenancies in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1717, Woodstock mill was leased to yeoman Lewis John.
Richard Fenton, in 1811, recorded passing through Woodstock, stating that the name came from an extensive manor owned in early times by Huko Hywel, whose daughters married Normans, and that the manor eventually came into the possession of the Perrott family.
James Hartley Jones, whose name appears on the Ambleston War Memorial, is recorded as having enlisted at Woodstock (he lived in the nearby hamlet of Wallis) early in World War I.

## Chapel

Fenton noted that a chapel of ease to Ambleston parish existed in the village, but had long since ceased to exist, and the cemetery had been ploughed.
Woodstock Calvinistic Methodist Chapel was founded by the Reverend Howel Davies. It was built in 1755, the first Methodist chapel in Pembrokeshire, and was rebuilt in 1809 and restored in 1890. The chapel is a Grade II listed building.
