WALKING Walking sticks were first
introduced into fashion by the eAeminate Hen
~ III. of France, but did not become q requi-
site appendage to the gentlemen of fashion in
England till the year 1866, at which time they
were formed with an indented head, in order to
afford more easy pressure of the hand which
they supported Ingenuity, which in matters
of fashion is ever on the alert, now crowned it
with the addition Of the round and hollow top,
which sometimes contained nutmeg or ginger,
to warm the stomach of the valetudinarian,
and sometimes sugar candy for the asthmatc;
but snuff soon after coming into universal use
among the bon ton Of society, the cavity was
exclusively appropriated to its reception, and
the meeting of too friends was invariably
marked, after the first salutation, by the un-
serewing Of the tops Of their walking sticks.
You may persuade man that he is wit
or a saga philosopher or philanthropist;
but you might as wen undertake to cross the
Atlantic in tea-cup as to make him be-
lieve he is fool. Sceptcs are advised to ex-
pertinent upon the stupidest friend they have.
