"False ears of flesh color- India rubber- have been invented for the use of ladies with large ears. They are used in front of the real ears which are drawn back and concealed under the hair."
Ladies of the 1830's: "And demure she was, hiding her complexion from the harsh sun by a parasol, over-clothing herself from the elements and shrieking when 'a grasshopper steps across her path or a cow stops to gaze at her.'"
From "Mr. Godey's Ladies: Being a Mosaic of Fashions and Fancies"
