The Shakers have finally dwindled
down to very small numbers. Most
of the members are women. They
still retain large property interests,
and still keep their farms to the point
of perfection.
With the exception of staple pro-
ducts the chief industry in the Enfield
community is the making of fancy ar
ticles, sweaters, underwear, knit goods
and an elegant line of opera cloaks.
These are the very finest article worn
by the elite of our metropolitan cities.
All the buildings, which without ex-
ception are ~commodious and well ar
ranged and simple in appearance and
design, are as well kept and neat as
ever. The visitor, if he calls within

The past has been a glory impos-
sible to their future, yet the Shakers,
who walk in sobriety among their
neighbors and the outside world, have
won a reputation for invariable, un-
timetable frugality and honesty which
must serve as an example to even the
most Indifferent observer. The con.
tact of the Shakers has ever been that
OF purity, righteousness and thrift.
