POODLES ON THE LAND.
Kimono Cottage, Camberley.
DEAR SIR,—Poodles have from time immemorial been employed to hunt for and dig out truffles in France. May I suggest to all owners of dogs of this highly intelligent breed that they should use them (1) for digging in gardens and allotments; (2) in place of caddies on golf links? May I add that poodles ought not to be shaved with a safety-razor, but should be trimmed by a topiary expert?
I am, Sir,
Yours faithfully, MAISIE MIMRAM.
