Thanks Rusty you are right - I have 4 down wrong but still don't get 23D

Stuck on last two....

George's son returned make-up (4)
S?N?

Dutch partners provided parts (4)
?I?E

I've a feeling that I'm missing something blindingly obvious here!

Sand
S(on) + anagram of DNA (make up)

Sand (George) dna reversed against S
wife

sorry, reversed (returned) not anagram!

Partners are West and East, at bridge.
Provided is "if", parting WE.
W if E.

Thanks all!

Would never have got the George Sand connection, and hadn't thought of Dutch =Wife
