MATRIMONIAL CLUB.
THE FBIE.VDLESS FARMERS' HOPE. The novel idea of a farmers' and settlers club was submitted to the Farmers' inference in Sydney last week. It would ;t brought into being be the only club in Australia where men and womeii emild meet, on equal terms. There was, said a delegate, not enough matrimony in tho country. lie did .not advocate a matrimonial club, but it would be. a great gain if young men, from one part of the country, could meet young women from other parts. They could thus select better life partners than at present. Cooking classes could l;e held there, and farmers could fend their daughters there to have the finishing touches put upou the plain cooking of the bush.
Despite eloquent pleas on the;* and other grounds, the conference threw the scheme out.
