The appointment of three women police in Melbourne was expected to be made early in tho month. The Chief Secretary decided last year that these appointments would be of considerable value, the officers to be engaged largely in the protection of women and young girls. Owing to the shortage of public money no appointments were mndo last year, but at a recent meeting of the Cabinet it. was decided that the female officers were necessary, and should bo appointed. Tho successful applicants will pitrudo public parks, railway station'?, and wharves, with the object, of protecting tho morals of tho younger women, and particular Attention will bo devoted to tho class whicli frequents hotels and wine saloons, and subsists on immorality. It is expected the policewomen will wear overalls of uniform pattern. Now South Wale,? policewomen wear dark brown overalls, and it is likely tho Victorian authorities will adopt a similar colour. Tho department, it is understood, does not intend to insist on tho wearing of hats of a distinctive typo. The women will carry their authority ill flic form of a lwdge, which will be worn under tho lapel of tho coat or overall.
