PECULIAR FEMALE OCCUPATION.

American women are supposed to be, par excellence, the cleverest inventors of new occupations suitable to the female capacity, but the following advertisement, which appeared in The Morning Post recently, really, 1 think carries off the palm ; —

TO those who have not time to give their dogs sutticent exercise in London, a Lady, experienced, would EXERCISE DOGS in the park. Terms: One hour daily, 5s a week; two hours, 7s 6d.— Address, B. L.

It would be rather interesting to know in what way the advertiser considers herself ‘ experienced.’ Perhaps she has a special mesmeric influence over the canine race, which prevents them straying away from hei, and also makes them otherwise obedient to her wishes. Do the terms insure the dear pets being exercised singly, or does 5s a week only provide for exercising in company with other, perhaps undesirable and plebeian dogs 1 I conclude, however, that the class of dogs catered for are mostly of the more aristocratic type, as the park is the chosen place of promenade.
