In America, as with the UK, tea was late afternoon (I imagine 4-5 PM). The ladies were hungry then. Dinner was not scheduled until 8PM after the nurse/nanny took the children to the nursery to read stories and get ready for bed. Dinner was a adult affair.<br />sammysgrammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306018146687609494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728344103328808986.post-27452124860122917612012-08-29T13:55:55.911-04:002012-08-29T13:55:55.911-04:00Really enjoyed this post, especially after writing...Really enjoyed this post, especially after writing nostalgically (is that a word?) about the Art of Visiting. I've always wondered what made a reticule any different from any other purse type. I can also see why a woman would need assistance in getting dressed!!Luella Newkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190434731054382741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728344103328808986.post-19779094918921932882012-08-29T13:37:39.425-04:002012-08-29T13:37:39.425-04:00wow!

I've always like the look of the white dress, just not all the undergarments. :0) Thanks for sharing that with us. <br />LisaRecovered Fundiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637656216585911313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8728344103328808986.post-69589041715593776132012-08-29T07:31:57.840-04:002012-08-29T07:31:57.840-04:00How often do we say, "Oh, I wish I could have...How often do we say, "Oh, I wish I could have lived in the 1800's!"?
