ezs note II:  This is for anyone whose interest is in the trivia of the Baha'i Faith - whether they join or not.  It seems that Romaine Brooks had a lover named Natalie Clifford Barney - and she had a sister named Laura Clifford Barney, who compiled Some Answered Questions, whose writings are from 'Abdu'l Baha.  Guess Natalie was a bit more of a free spirit...
