How TO Carry Your Cane This Spring.
From Eugene Fields London Letter.
The Piccadlly swells seem to have agreed
upon a new way of wearing their canes Here
tofore it has been the fashion to carry the cane
held directly in front of and parallel with the
body, the head of the stick being upward and
pointing forward. But the latest style is to
carry the stick ferule-end upward, the head
turned toward the body and the stick held
stiffiy at an angle Of say forty-fve degrees, The
walking-sticks still in vogue are veritable clubs;
in price they run all the way from shilling to
two guineas. The sidewalks here in London
are so narrow and so crowded that it would be
impossible to manipulate cane with that free
dom which characterzes the Yankee dandy.
Perforated stomachs, blinded eyes, and conse-
quent actions at law would surely follow. So,
after all, the Piccadily swells have a good ex-
cuse for their stiff fashions in stick-carrying.
