AN AMERICAN VISITOR.

KEEN WORKER FOR WOMEN. (From a Correspondent.) Among the visitors who have been in London during the last few days is Mrs Henry Bishop-Clay, of Houston, Texas. Mlrs Bishop-Clay Is wellknown in the Southern States of the U.S., and has identified herself with the women’s movements for the last thirty years. On one or two occasions she has represented as many as half a million women at certain congresses. “Too Much Pocket Money," She has novel views on many subjects. She blames the parents for a good deal of youthful America’s craving for excitement and pleasure. They are tod generous with their ..pocketmoney, she says. Although wealthy herself, Mrs Bishop-Clay never gave her children any pocket-money except on special occasions. Earn, or Do Without. ‘‘l make them go out and earn it,’’ she said. “I let them take anything they wanted from the garden or green-houses—-flowers, vegetables, and fruit —and if they were able to sell it at a reasonable price I let them have the money. It worked well.”
