AUSTRALIAN WOMEN.

"HAVE BEEN-GROSSLY LIBELLED." Australian women, according to : ,Eev.Alexander M'Callum,'have been grossly libelled (writes tho'Melbourne correspondent of . the. Sydney "Daily .Telegraph"). Speaking to a- large congregation at the Central Mission to-aay, -ho entered a spirited defenoe on. their, behalf, referring to the allegations regarding conduct at ' seaside camps. : ■- •'.' Mr. M'Callum said that any:man or. woman on the foreshore could see conduct on the part of girls—who ~,were merely thoughtless in the , main—that would make any serious porsort tremble with dismay for possibilities of -the future, His conviction was that-there was ah out-, burst of wilfulness, immodesty, and,boldness,'but'he believed it stopped-before the actual point of immorality. Tho Commonwealth statistics of "unwanted children" proved this. He Appealed to tho manhood that respected the character and fair.nameof woman to impress upon young men that to do anything tending : to : embarrass' a girl's name was cowardly, ■ despicable, meait, and cruel. There''were too many who regdrdod life m a great "lark," whereas it was a M* solemn'thing. People were finding fault with thousands' being on the beaches and in the streets, but they could hardly be expected to stop in many of the houses that were>in the community. Every decent family ought to have the chanco of a decent home; and il the capitalists who owned property were hot able-to provide it., the. community ought to'take .up the business." He <lid. not think that mixed bathing ' wasgoing to nn?s away. It was not ncceswrilv an evil thing. He had .s?Pn mixed bathing. In the main the womanhood nf' Australia' was such as could be respected. ,
