Archbishop Kelly had something to sav in Sydney a few days ago (says tho 'Telegraph") about tlio prevailing extreme fashions in women's eloihes. Ho was preaching at the silver jubilee coremonies of the Sisters of Mercy at Parramatta, when ho turned to the female portion of tho congregation, and said: "A certain Irish Bishop remarked on one occasion, when ho took exception to tlio action of some people who, though their intentions were excellent, employed unlawful means to attain a particular end, that ha was prepared to go with his reoplo to tho gates oS hell, but ho would not go in with them. Well, women, don't you fol* low fashions iusido tho gates of hell. Tho fashions of to-day simply clothe our women in impurity from shoulder to foot. And the inais who does not turn away his eyes from these immodest creatures that aro scon parading our publie streets, attired in the latest freak dresses, may lose his soul, for the Scripture tells us that a man who looks on a. woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in his heart. There is no ballast nowaday.'! in the people, tliero is no fear of God, without *ihieh tho law can do little or nothing."
