Martin's (1974, 1978) two-cloud model for the behavior of observed polarization in complex interstellar cloud situations has been extended by a numerical investigation of the parameters embodied in the Serkowski law which describes the wavelength dependence of the polarization. Data for stars which exhibit dispersion of the position angle of the linear polarization, theta(lambda), attributable to the presence of complex dust clouds along the line of sight, have been reassessed in terms of Serkowski's law. Although there are hints of connections between the data and model predictions, no firm relationships can be established and possible reasons for this are discussed.
