in all probability she did, despite
what Darwin, Wells or any other

adam may have been con-
temptuous of Ewes decorative

article entitled "Some Notes on

Sand in the winter would she
not make Adam bring her the

According to Lady Cave this
is what women did for their
compilations in the reign of
Queen Anne: "Complexions
were plentifully laid on with
thick red and white paint, and
perforce to keep lovers at a
respectable distance, lest a kiss
snatched by a forward one
