The Chatelaine and a Mystifying Cartoon

Editorial cartoons were much, much better without considerations for Tory propriety and some of the 19th Century editorial cartoons were brutal.  This one is mystifying because wtf is a chatelaine?  (WIKI:  Chatelaine)

I didn't know what one does with a chatelaine and the history of it turned out to be most interesting.  It did not include a description of it as used in this cartoon, however.  (You may need to click it to see it full size)



Would this be a peach of a gift for the busy Mall Mom who really only needs a pair of shoes and has no interest in visiting every chocolate shop she passes.
