p.s. I agree with you - - Ch Ch 's prop does seem to be a walking stick - - hadn't thought of it before, but I do think the "Little Tramp's" appurtenance gives him a touch of nobility which the umbrella would not. I think the very propper middle-class umbrella belongs to Mary Poppins, who has been seen in Mary Shepard's illustration to use it at times as a means of locomotion. BTW, did you know Miss Shepard is the daughter of the illustrator of the Pooh books?
