AN ADAMLESS EDEN.

The, London Daily news says:—There seems to be a fine opening for young men of good address, as the advertisers toetimes say. Precisely where it is, unfortunately, we cannot tell with entire confidence, though it -must 'be easy to find out. It is about 300' miles from - London, and is in a town " much beloved by' shoemakers and' glaziers." ThA surely ought to be clear enough for anf. smart young man worthy of a rich and handsome wife, andnothing lessthaniai' is all but guaranteed to such a one if he will only take the hint and go'. "If a handkerchief was flung, ye gods and little fishes!", writes a r 'Sdisconsolate damsel"—one;-of the prizes—"how we ' would rush to 'pick it up." There are, it seems, all sorts, of advantages in this broadly indicated locality; "but we have one, I might almost say fatal (irawbaet-r-.. weha^e'noyoun"g'mep!.' : rnirie adequately desbribe so horrible' an ! cl' :; distressing a situation f If a dance is given, there are no partners. The men live for solo vrhist-all old fogies in fact, and that although theses-hapless damsels are by no means penniless,'"far from it." That they are handsome also is obvious, when it is added that in this Adamless Eden they are all young Jewesses. • The letter quoted'from appears in the' Jewish WM. ■ That, it may,.be, thought', is a. difficulty in the way of a good many who would otherwise promptly be making tracks for this town.ouly 300 miles from London:' It is by no means certain, however, that the difficulty is insuperable, or even serious. "Candidly speaking," writes thefaircorrespondentbf the JewisKWorld, "I don't wonder at our provincial girls marrying out of -their religion." If that isn't a hint, it is difficult to say what is; Young men, whether Jews or Gentiles, would certainly, ido well to, give this'; locality a look up before getting'down to' business on Monday morning.
