Lawson's Sensational Doines.

Financial circles are greatly agitated as
the result of the course pursued BY
Thomas w. Lawson OF Boston, the copper

popularly ascribed much Of the market

the manner in which things are Done in-

up this week with other warnings TO sell
certain stocks and securities. Wall street

-AHE city editor of Chicago pa
per sent me down to Stanch-
field, distance Of forty miles,
to write a funny story about
misfortune which had befallea one Of
.ho hest men in the state of Illinois,
,Iis name was Samuel Brandon, and he
r.os known far and wide as genuine
,,,orican. a man whom great wealth
had not spoiled, In every way broad
,ninded and thoroughly democratic in
,ha hest sense of the word.
The joke was that Mr.. Brandon's only
daughter had recently become engaged
70 n titled Briton, Lord Colewyn, whom
,noIicious fate had sent to the little city
- Stonchtield. This was a source Of
nride and joy to Mrs. Brandon, who
was born aristocrat, and of deep cha
Grin to her husband, whose patriotism
was intense.
To add to the humor of the situation,
Lord Colewyn was to be guest Of the
Rrandons on the Fourth Of July. Upon
this day Mr.. Brandon always threw
open his splepdid estate to the populace
and gave his fellow citizens such an en-
tertaiament as spared the city all ex-
pense for a celebration. 1t was Mr..
Brandon's one day in the year. Upon
the other 1854 Mrs. Brandon ruled the
demesne in fashion highly exclusive.
agreed with the city editor that this
affair partook Of the nature Of jest.
An early train took me to Stanch-
field, where my friend, Tom Mason,
met me at the depot. He was employed
In Mr.. Brandon's bank, and depended
upon him for such of the facts as were
really common property and might be
told without indelicacy. Indeed Tom
had already given me some Of them in
a queer letter written about the time of
the announcement Of the engagement,
in the middle Of June. He seemed to
suffer for Mr.. Brandon, whom he great
ly admired.
In company with my friend went to
the Stanchfield hotel for a bit of break
fast. As ss,on as we entered the dining
room my attention was attracted by q
person who had the unmistakable air OF
a gentleman's gentleman. He was SUI

The underslirt jewel bag is an Eng
fish idea, and constitutes a decided i'm
proyement over the smaller affair
worn with ribbon around the neck.
Cleverly constructed, this new bag
Is worn underneath the dress. 1t is
made of suede leather in some dark,
useful color. and is lined with silk or
leather. The large pocket, which
seems to be placed on the outside in
the center near the top, has a strong
purse-clasp. Should it ever be pos
sible that this could come unfastened.
it cannot cape open at all when being
worn, on account of the two side flaps
that come over the back of the pocket
and keep all taut, says the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.
OF the strongest webbing, long
straps are securely fastened at the top
edge of the bag, and at the other end
they meet waistband of webbing that
buckles firmly around the waist. An
other style for this travelling jewel and
money bag is of similar materials, the
large pocket having several compart-
ments inside, and the top of the bag
coming over like a flap to fasten with
patent claps.

Bodice eirdles.

The vogue of the deep belt, or girdle,
appears to gain adherents week by
week until no wardrobe is considered
complete that does not include one or
more. These varying styles suit the
needs of varying figures and are some
full, some plain. AS illustrated Num-
Der One is made of black Liberty sat
in, Number Two of black and white
taifeta, Number Three of peau de

Chine, but any of the materials used
for bodices of the sort are appropriate
and the color can be made to suit the
demands of the special gown.
The girdles consist of the founda-
ton, which is shaped and fitted to the
