AN ADAMLESS EDEN.
Dr. Mary Walker, says a New York correspondent, has just bought a farm of 135 acres near Ouwogo, in New York State, where she intends to found a colony for women. Speaking of the scheme, she said that all colonists would live in one commodious house, under the immediate supervision of herself and two elected lady officers. " Bloomers " will be compu's ry at Oawego. Applicants for membership will have to pledge thembelves to celibacy during their stay-in the colony. Women above fifteen and under thirty-five, who are prepared to abjure flirting with outsiders and similar frivolities, will be eligible. Ihe monotony of farm life will be varied by the study of politics, of literature, and of social que&tious, as W6U as by " manly " sports. The chief object of the scheme, according k> Dr. Walker, is to educate and turn out creditable specimens of the New Woman. The site selected is in the heart of the picturesque fruit country. Dr. Walker is confident that her farm will prove to be what she oalls it — the Garden of .Eden without Adam.
