OUR REAL BUSHMEN.
ENGLISH GIRL’S HABITS. LIVING WITH BLACKS. Mildura, August 22. Miss Lily Butler, C.8.E., who conducted “A Corner of Blighty” in Paris during the war to provide home life for soldiers on leave, is back in Mildura after a trip into the interior of Australia. She says she met an old bushman—a real 'bushman, with whiskers down to his belt. He asked her to send him from Melbourne some “violet perfume scented soap.” At another place Miss Butler found an English girl who had married a blackfellow. She lives with black gins, eats worms and grubs, and has acquired all the habits of the blacks. Her three children are black. She has written home to her relatives in England that she hag married a real Australian.
