In the two former articles the provisions of the draft regulations which have been considerat aud approved by the Diplomatic Conference which met at Brussels in 1903 and 1935 have been examined and the changes which, if they are adopted, they will make in the law of this
country have been stated,
In this article it proposed to call attention to the two sets of draft regulations which have beau prepared for ankmission to the Diplomatio Conference at the end of this year. The first relates to that most difficult subject the limits tion of rhipowners' liability.

RANK AND DURÁTION OF LIENS. The next point of divergence between the British and Continental systems arises with regard, to the order in which moritime liens should take priority or "rank" as it is said Most Continental codes provide that they should rank in the order in which the different groups appear in the codes, lieus arising in usch group sharing rateably in the proceeds of the sale of the vessel: though some, for instance the Dutch code, contain alaborate regulations with regard to the prioritors of the lines. The British law is far simpler. For in general terms it may be stated to be that maritimo liens for benefits conferver rank in the inverse order of the dates on which they came into existence (except possibly in the case of wages earned after a collision), so that generally speaking the first in order of date is last in order of priority, and the last is first.
The proposals of the Venies conference are based in the main on the Contidental system. Article 4 providing that lions shall rank in accordance with the priorities laid down in Article 3. Liabilities appearing in the same

This length makes the hand look small, but it is an expensive plan, for it is impossible to keep the sleeve olean where it comes in contact with the occupations of the hand; and the rule is that sleeves for the evening at least munt always be white, except where the gown brown. It is caripun that this should be the only exception. In the afternoon dresses of elephant-grey or mole may have slevres of the same coloured tuils, but white or cream are the general rule. The economy in gloves is really startling.

After much discussion Article 5 was agreed to, by which in all ensea thore should be a prescription of one year, subject, however, to provision by which the Court in which the case in tried should have power to extend the tima in proper cases, it being specially mentioned that the fact that the vessel had not been within the territorial waters of the State where the plaintiff is domiciled should be considered as a sufficient ground for extending the time. This expression territorial waters" requires recon sideration; for it would be manifestly unjust that a lien should be unenforceable in the British Courts after the expiration of one year simply because the vessel to which it attached had during that period passed within three miles of, say, the Lizard or South Forsland.

possible to mont with regard to the limitation of liability for loss of life, and the proposals considered below must be understood to refer solely to limitation of liability in respect of claims for damage to or loss of personal property. Thi is effected in three distinct ways. First, there is the British system. by which the theoretically anlimited liability of the shipowner for the acts and defaults of his agents, the captain and cression, and the Court, where the onuso is tried; of his vessel, can in fact be limited by a payment calculable beforehead. Careful inquiries made and these are matters which are obviously in- in respect of each recident of £8 for each to both in this country and on the Continent show of the ship's tonnage Next, ni representing the low of the North of Europe, may be mentioned that in the opinion of underwriters there is no the German system which established from the likelihood that, if the four codes are universally outset the rule that the thing itself am not this adopted, there will be any rise in premiums owner is liable for any damage done by it; that from this canso. is to say that the owner is in no way personally liable, bat is bound to hand over the ship und her freight to meet the chime of his creditors,
rather the creditors of the ship. Last, the longest examination of the code dealing with French law may be taken as typical of the law maritime mortgages and lines. It is proposed of the Latin races. By it every shipowner in in the first place that a mortgage on a ship civilly liable for the acts of the captain and which conforms to the law of the country where bound by his contracts made in relation to thoit is made shall be valid and recognized in all skip or the adventure, but ho can in every case countries, a provision which would get rid of release himself from theso obligations by this one real risk which is run by the mortgages of sbandonment of his ship and her freight.

The bases of these three systems were so different that any agreement seemed impossible But after a discussion which began in 1899, and continued till 1906, compromise was arrived at:-and it is now proposed that a ship owner shall not be liable beyond the value of hie ship, her freight and accessories, and may limit he liability either (1) by abandoring his ship; or (2) by paring her value at the end of the voyage: or (3) by paying £8 for each ton of her registered tonnage,

The ship carries with her no evidence of the existence of such a lien, and no system of law provides for the registration of such a lien, or any other means of ensuring its publicity. The possibility, therefore, that an "indefinite member of Sacs may have attached to a ross must have a serious effect on what may be called the commercial credit of the ship-a point very strongly insisted on at the Venice Conference by Mr. Simpsor, the general manager of the Bank of Liverpool, who was the specially appointed delegate of the Bankers Association of this country at that meeting,

The number of these lines varies very in the systems of law of the different maritime States. According to Articles 313 to 316 of the This compromise was nanimously accepted | Dutch Maritime Code, there are as many as 12 in Venice as fair and reasonable; it gives to the different classes or groups of obligations which British owner of a vessel of low vaine the give rise to maritime lines.

In contrast to these systems, English law the British shipowner of relieving himself from confers a maritime lien in respect only of the liability by a payment of a sum less then the following matters-salvage, possibly pilotage, notuml value of the vessel,
damage by collision, wages of masters and crew, masters' disbursements and liabilities in respect of disbursements, and bottomry and re spondentia.
The love of the continental countries do not require the abandonment of the accesorier.” but it was agreed to ipglyde them, na 14 would tend to approximate the value of the property to
be abandoned to £8 a ton. The expression
"accessories" is defined to mean, besides freight, contributions due to the owner of the vessel for general average losses de far as they constitute material damage sustained by

The effect of these proposals is to provide a fand for each vorage out of which to satisfy the claims of the creditors srising during the voyage in respect of which the shipowner may limit his liability. This ides, of making the voyage instead of each accident the basis of the calculation, is a new departure so far as British law is concerned, though the idea is common to all the continental systems; but the effect of the change is mitigated by the provisions of Article 10, which enable the creditor to arrant the ship is the course of her voyage, and seonrs to him, if he does so, the full boneft of the bail which would be given to effecther release, without which she can not start on
16 new voyage and incur fresh obliga, tions.
THE NATURE OF LIMITATION CLAIMS.
The Vanice proposals contained in Article 3
of the draft code are that a maritime line shall
attach only in respect of the following:--
1. Court fees, taxes and pablic charges, and expenses of the care of the ship.
2. The wages of the captain and crow since their last engagement, with a mazivium of six- months,
3. Falvage,
4. Collision damage,
This reproduces British law with two exep- tions--the masters' lien for disbursements and those arising from bottomry and respondentia, which are omitted. There was a practicady unaimons agreement with regard to the omission of the bottomry and respondentia liens, because, owing to the development of the means of communication, these methods of raising money have disappeared, except in, so fur as they are still occasionally made use of by the masters of small vessels in the Mediterranean.

THE DETHRONED BLOUSE. Although the sogno, of the Empire and Princess gewon has very largely ousted tho blouse, this useful garment still exists. With pinin, well-ent skirt, it is an indispensable purt of the wardrobe. Just now, in elaborato forms it is hardly seen at all, but a smartly overe cut and studied. Vienna is devoting a good deal of style for outdoor and crning wear is being attention to this form of dress, and cur tailors must look to their laurels. A very black and white, about half-an-inch wide, made effective morning blouse in stripes of of some light woollen material, has a perfectly plain back and frout, the stripes running hori zontally, with broad pieces crossing the shoulders in the opposite direction, meeting widening bonds that riac from either side of the waist, & row of buttons marks the junc tion. Buttons, indeed, are very fashionable on these blouses. They give an air of adornment without impairing the necessary severity.
STRIPEN TO THE FORE.
Although the rage for stripes has a little died down, so that they do not threaten to become universal, they are still very smart. As under-dresses, beneath rails of chiffon or embroidered talle, they sometimes, achieve surprising effects. For instance, the palest blue silk, brocaded with faint rose-coloured
satin stripes, looks very well beneath blackc net hearily weighted with black bugles and floss The shore is an outline of the proposals silk; and a tunic of green tuile, embroidered, in which will be placed before the diplomatic con-rystal and green hagles, falls over an under- ference at its approaching meeting in Brus dress of silver and green stripes quite posticsily rels.

FASHIONS AND FANCIES.
ON AND OFF THE STAGE,
There was a time, not so very long ago, when, by substracting afty per cent exaggeration from freks worn on the modern comedy stage, one could feel sure of arriving at a very smart dress for onlinary wear. The substraction only seemed logical, when one remembered that on the stage colour and form are exposed to very curious conditions of lighting, to 'great attention, and to the influences of large space and the many angles from which they arn viewed. This is all changed now. We take our fashions direct from the stage, and even add to their striking qualities. Nothing is too elaborate, nor too legal, for everyday wear among smart women.
