Reading mb's link to Victorian ladies and their lap dogs, an item called an "opera box" was mentioned that sounded like it was something common that ladies used.
Does anybody know what it was, and what was in it?

There is no place to hide around here. Besides, you gave me a really good chuckle when I read that post.augusta @ Sat Apr 17, 2010 12:32 pm wrote: That's gotta be the dumbest post I ever did. I went back and read the article. I was picturing some little box women took to the opera with maybe their opera glasses in them and stuff, cuz it was all about lap dogs, so I was thinking things that go on a lap. ... Where can I go to hide? ...
Now if we can borrow those opera glasses from mbhenty, we can have ourselves a little lemon aide or something.
