PROTECTING WOMEN.
BISHOP’S WIFE’S EXPERIENCE. (Special to the “Guardian.”) WELLINGTON, Oct. 29. “Women can look after themselves—it’s we poor men who need the protection.” That was the sentiment encountered occasionally by Mrs SproVt, wife of the Bishop of Wellington, during the years when she was a field worker for the Society for the protection: of Women and Children. Mrs Sprott mentioned it at the society’s annual meeting last evening and created a good deal of amusement. “I remember,” she said, “in the few years I was connected with this society we had sometimes not only women, but men, coming to get advice. And in some cases we even gave the men advice against the women. (Laughter.) Although' out name is the ‘Society for the Protection of Women and Children,’ we are only here to protect the women who need protection. We are ready to protect the men, too!”
