From Vienna comes the latest whim
OF fashion-the walking stick for wo-
men. It Is used in only one style, q
design like a mans walking stick with
a crook handle that will hang 1t from
the arm. 1t Is of smooth wood. enam-
elled white. These n are more
graceful than a parasol, If not quite so
useful, and of course the touch Of color
which a parasol lends Is missing, but
for use in the late afternoon nothing
could be more chic than a white stick.
Also from Vienna comes the anklet. a
gold, silver or platinum chain worn
loosely around the right ankle. 1t
sounds rather foolish, but on a pretty
ankle 1t is attractive.
