huh. OT, but I still remember that in my boarding school around 1970 (I was a day student) the girls had to "dress for dinner" every night in a really ugly uniform dress, hose, and pumps.
and what are canes for, then, if not to provide support? (confused)

I wasn't kidding. They could certainly be used to keep the riff-raff at bay in the street, and proably were in days past. I'd suspect that at some point the streets were rough, weapons and sticks were prohibited and this was a way of disguising a weapon as a legitimate accessory. Obviously the poor wouldn't be able to afford this luxury. Mostly just for show in the era of the picture, though.
