Fel. }, Damages amounting to just an- der £2,000 at bar have been award- ed against two American wolnen, Mrs. Ida Helen Oliver, of Chicago, and Mrs. Carolino Davis, el Now Orleans, for copying the models of well-known Paris dressmakers. The two "pirates" have also been ordered to pay lines of £16 and £4 sterling Vespectively.
The discovery of their opera- tions was malé in August, 1930. It had been known for some time by the big conturiers that there had been a leakage of their pre- einssly guarded secrets. As a res ault of information obtained by the police a descent was made on in Paris Mrs. Oliver's house where a large number of sketches
of the latest designs were seen. Similar finds were made la n shop rented by Mrs. Davis.
