Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 308, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 December 1915 — Umbrella for a Swagger Stick. [ARTICLE]

Umbrella for a Swagger Stick.

It is a fad of the season to carry a furled umbrella in much the same way that a man carries a cane —it is firmly planted on the ground at every third or fourth step. This is just a bit awkward for the novice, for the umbrella handle is extremely long, and she often longs to tuck it under her arm as she did in the old days of the debutante slouch. However, It is the mode that came In with the wide skirt and the very soldierly stride, and it belongs to street dress just as do the godet plaits and the spacious pockets —so we all fall in line.
