Paris. Oct. 21.
Modern furniture and architecture are
coming into their own again in France
The craze for antiques which developed
after the war is dying out. Buildings
designed along modern lines are spring
ing up In many parts OF the city and
the purchasers of furniture invariably
demand modern designs.
Solid, artistically finished pieces are
being turned out In huge quantities
while the various salesrooms remain
stocked with ancient furniture. The de-
mand for expensive wooden bedsteads
of the Louis XIV. period shows q con-
siderable decrease while orders for brass
and even iron beds pile up. Efforts TO
create a special twentieth century style
thus far have failed. but in many cases
plain but substantial furniture and
buildings is all that Is asked for.

Lucien Dior in Vain APP
peals to Them to Orna-

CALLS HATS TOO SIMPLE
They Reply Slump in Trade Is
Largely Due to Ameri-

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Paris. Oct. II.
Political circles are amused while
French husbands are anxiously check
ing up their bank accounts in the fear
that the recent edict sent out by
Lucien Dior. ex-Minister Of Commerce
to French dressmakers may have the
desired effect.
In comparing the French exports
before the war and since the war, NJ
Dior noticed that the figures for the
dressmaking business showed a de-
cided decrease. He attributes this to
the absence OF ornaments both In
dresses and hats and suggests that
henceforth dressmakers place orna-
ments on all clothes and even under
wear, particularly those intended for
foreigners.
The former Minister believes that the
dresses and hats of to-day are too simple
and easily copied by smaller establish
ments as we'll as clients.
Among the leading dressmakers
opinion as to the advisability Of NJ.
A~'Oi ou6ScStlOH Is InuCn OIVlQeQ. IN
the first place many of them complain
that they do not like dictation regarding
fashions. as they believe this creates a
dangerous precedent and might even
lead to the establishment of ministry
OF fashions. In the second place, 1t Is
pointed out, the dressmakers must fol-
low the demands of the customers who
pay the bills and have right to wear
what pleases them.
Another argument put forward Is that
the eight hour day law Is as detrimental
to the dressmaking trade as to any
other. while high taxation and tariffs
have hit the dressmakers probably
harder than any other trade.
On this point the opinion OF the dress
makers is unanimous. 1t Is pointed out
that since the factories in, the north Of
France were destroyed In the war ma
teriais have been imported at high rates.
and In many cases the goods have been
bought partly manufactured because Of
the shortage of labor, many of the women
employees having found more renuner-
ative occupations. 80
The lingerie workers consider them
selves In class apart from the others
and say NJ. Dior has made mistake II
sending his edict to them. They assert
that they do their best to ornament the
dainty underwear with embroidery and
lace work. and refuse to attempt to m
troduce fur and heavy beading for deco
ration purposes as Paris women particu-
larly want their underwear light and
soft. The biggest argument for all of
them. however. Is the high American
customs duties that havo been imposed
on all foreign made articles

RESIGNATION OF
DOVER EXPECTED
Regarded as elimination of
Controversy With Con,mis-
sioner Blair

Washington, July 11.-President
Harding was understood tonight to
have under consideration the res
:gnation Of Elmer Dover, Of Ta-
coma, Wash, and formerly Of
Ohio, as Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury in charge of customs and
internal revenue.
Information OF the resignation
of Mr.. Dover was received at the
capitol today from treasury sources
but something OF a mystery sur-:
rounded the severance of the As
sistant Secretary's connection with
the treasury as official conflrma-
ton or denial of the report was
wholly lacking.
At the treasury it was said Sec
retary Mellon had no statement to
make and that the matter was one
for Mr.. Dover and the president.
At the White House it was made
known that President Harding had
no comment TO make at this time.
Mr.. Dover himself would neither
confirm nor deny the report.
The resignation of Mr.. Dover. it
was indicated, could be regarded as
the elimination of his controversy
with David H. Blair. commissioner
of internal revenue, which bas
ragged for several months over the
proposed reorganization of the i'll
terra revenue bureau.
According to the accepted opir,-
ion in administration circles, M.
Dover was named Assistant Sec.
retary OF the Treasury by Presf-
dent Harding last December to re-
organize the customs service and
the revenue bureau. Reorganizs.-
ton of the customs service was
effected hy Mr.. Dover early IN the
year, but his plans for changes in
the personnel of the revenue br-
,reau ran counter to the admins
trative ideas Of Commissioner
Blair and Secretary Mellon. Fric-
ton, officially described as dis
agreements as to policy waxed
warmer with the occurrence of a
number of incidents. including the
removal of Dover appointees. and
the issuance of an order by Mr..
Blair centralizing ali discussion CT
appointments in the offices of the
commissioner and the appointment
division.
