peculiarities of this years laces. This

where the skirt is a series of over.
tapping silk and lace founces. AMONG
such designs is the "Boule de neiee .
The narrow border which outlines the
deep scallop is vine dotted by little
round balls of the thread. Another
novelty, fur lace. has so thick a che

border is for the foundation skirt. that

SEAMEN' SLAW SAFE,
FRIENDS ASSERT
Humphrey Measure to Amend
la Toilette Statute Likely to
Be Sidetracked.

The la Toilette scamcn's law will not
ne amended this session. much less rc-
pealed, according to friends Of the law
in Congress. who have been sounding
sentiment.
Believers in the new law crticise the
department of Commerce and the De-
partment Of Justice for interpreting 1t
in fashion to curtail its usefulness.
They apprehend that the Department
Of Commerce is not going to enforce it
with vigor. and that il may suffer still
more than it has suffered by official
Interpretation. But it is their view
that some features of the law cannot
be much impaired without controversy
IN the courts. and that the courts will
uphold the law in impartial fashion
Congress appears to be in no hurry to
amend the law and make it much less
drastic.
Congressman Humphrey Of Washing
ttn has introduced bill to repeal Sec
II,n 13, the section relating to able sea-
T1en and manning Of ships. But no sign
has thus far appeared that it can be
passed this winter.
The House Committee on Merchant
Marine Is indicating no disposition to
report out the Humphrey bill or any
hill which might weaken or emasculate
the law. In fact. prominent members
on the committee expect it to be side
tracked.
Andrew Furuseth. Of the Seamen's
the measure passed for the benefit Of
seamen Is on the ground to ask the
House Merchant Marine Committee for
q hearing before any action is takca.
1t Ia tntimated in responsible quarters
that there will be no need Of hearings
because there Is no intention to report
sny bill calculated to cut the vital parts
out of the seameE's law.
