fy Debts.

Boston, Oct. 3.-Dreamwold. Ne
luxurious estate of Thomas w. Law
son OF "frenzied finaJce' fame, is to
be vacated by its owner and all the
furniture, books. paintings and other
property in the great mansion are to
be sold to satisfy debts.
Appraisers invaded the silent halls
yesterday to begin catalogueing the
contents in preparation for an auction
next week,
Lawson Is far from penniless, his
friends say, but he decided to sell the
contents of his estate which he has
not occupied for long time to. settle
several debts. and start anew.
Dreamwod lost its hold on Law
son when Mrs. Lawson died few
years ago. Her grave surmounted.
by a huge granite monument is on
the estate in little grove of trees.
Fresh flowers are placed on 1t daily
and although parts of the beautiful
grounds are now overgrown from
neglect, the little plot in which Mrs
Lawson lies, is we'll cared for.
When his son and daughters mar
ried and scattered Lawson finally
found himself alone in the great man
sion in which his children had romp
ed years before. The solitary life
with no one but servants about the
place Is believed to have brought
about the end Of Dreamwold's days
of social glory and the decision to
foresake the place on which millions
were spent to make veritable
fairyland home.

NINE. PoNAFIDlNE's LECTURE
Special Interest Attaches to Escape
From Russia.

If you think that $1.25 Is a rather
large price to pay for the Ponatidine
lecture you must consider the fact
that it is only by giving lectures
that Nine. Ponafd'ne can support her
self and her sons, She has been rob-
bed Of all her money and property by
the Soviet Government and has cour-
ageously chosen to earn her living in
stead of appealing to charity for help.
She does not by any means receive
the total proceeds of the lecture.
First of all her managing syndicate
must be paid, in this case $3.50 for
the Bennington lecture. and then $.13
is collected as Government Tax on
each ticket sold
We really are fortunate in being
able to hear her for so small sum,
People in the large cities pay much
more and declare that her lecture is
fully worth It, This is first class
attraction.
