New Works by the Ten Ameri-
can Painters.

II is q charming exhibition that this
eroup of artists has arranged at the
Montross Gallery. Sixteen years nave
gone by since the Ten as body first
came before the public. They have
had their ups and downs, and latterly
their exhibitions have luctuated in
value. so to say, but they have never
been without a certain distinction, and
this years paintings leave, on the
whole. an impression of still ebullient
vitality. AS usual they appear with
the first signs Of spring, and likewise
as usual. they are in accord with the
spirit of the season. 1t is, indeed, just
because they have managed to keep
their artistic youth that the Ten nave
ever been sure OF welcome. They
may not invariably present us with
unqualifedly good pictures. but neither
is their really characteristic work per-
functory.
This is q. varied show, consisting OF
figure subjects, portraits. landscapes
and studies Of still life, and for GOOD
measure some Of the contributors add
q number of drawings, which heighten

play of light. The same point con
fronts us in The Grey Room which
is not a study of life, but the reproduc-
ton of a tableau. and here adverse
criticism is even further invited by the
prosaic and even awkward disposition
of the various factors in the design.
Why. we wonder were these all kept so

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Dec 30-The Janu. ary position engaged the entire at- tention of the cotton trade this morn ing around the opening of the market.
 Local brokers watched the trading in New York very closely. Common repor was that notices for the deliv- cry of 50000 bales of cotton on Janu- uary contracts had been issued there.
 Bears were at first inclined to think that this would turn the situation in their favor, but 1t 500 ndeveloped that notices were being stopped very quickly.
 New Orleans brokers with bullish inclinations were disposed to think that owners of actual cotton were los ing it on contracts, which would leave the way open for bullish operations in March.

This latest addition to the wardrobe of the fashionable wo- man is made of but two pieces, with seams in the side, which, needless to say, are open to point just above the knee.

Gray in all possible shades is one of the colors of the season. Pearl gray is being most successfully combined with white velvet and ermine for real ly rich tea gowns; and deep shade of smoke gray is being very much used for mantles in conjunction with bands of smoke gray fox. All shades of rich blue are in demand in such materials as velours de laine and liberty cash. mere. Costumes in these materials are trimmed with bands of sable or Of black fox and the craze of the moment seems to be for Chinese embroideries of the finest description.

United States Has Little Information Regarding Battle m North of Mex leo,

New York, Dec. 30.-Disturbed con ditions in Mexico have forced the Ma tional Railways of Mexico and affliat ed properties to default in the pay ment Of interest due January l, oI bonds amounting to $111 .O0O. 900. k N. Brown, president of the system who made this announcement today said that in lieu of regular cash pay ments the companies would issue three-year 6 per cent notes.
 The bonds on which default is de. clared consist of $S4,O00.O0O of Ma. tional Railways 412 per cent prior Hans, $26,000 900 of National Railway Company Az prior liens, and S1,374, 000 of Mexican Central Railway 5 per cent priority bonds. Semi-annual in. terest on these issues aggregates ap- proximately $2.5000O Until few days ago it was thought coupons would be paid in cash.
 The following statement was. issued by President Brown:
 owing to the dislocation of the service on the companies lines con sequent to disturbed conditions in Mexico, which in turn have resulted in Interruptions in traffic, Joss of earnings and increased expenses, the company regrets it's inability to pay in cash the interest due January l on the prior lien 415 per cent bonds of both the National Railways "f Mexico and the National Railroad Company of Mexico and also on the priority bonds of the Mexican Cen tral Railway Company.
 Tn lieu of regular cash payments. three-year per cent notes will oe issued, redeemable in whole or in part at the option of the company al par. with accrued interest, on thirty days notice. The notes will be is- sued in amouns of $45 each, or mul- tiples thereof, and the equivalents ln foreign currencies at the rate of eX- change specified in the trust deed. To assist the company and to protect its own interests in the National sys tem, the Mexican government has ad- yanced the company 595,5S0 pounds Of its per cent ten-year treasury bonds of 1913, which will be deposit ed under a trust deed between ths company and Guaranty Trust Com pany as collateral for the notes

 A light fringe of hair curled in fiat, short ringlets, is cut across the fore head in line more or less curved or straight. as best becomes the wearer. These ringlets must be lattened to the head to preserve the correct lines in this coiffure. This may be done by tying them down with a light veil for 8 few minutes.
 The coiffure is finished with an on namented band and single, curling spray of Paradise The band in this costume is made of flat jade beads matching those worn with the cos tune about the neck. But there are innumerable bands, those of black gauge or velvet and rhinestones being among the most effective.
 The costume worn by the handsome brunette is of black velvet and silver embroidered net, with a skirt which appears to wrap about the figure, ter minating in high waist line. The rather scarty bodice is made of white chiffon. With a drapery of gossa- mer lace it would be much prettier and more in keeping with American ideas of modesty, which criticism is made without apologies to the great designer, who, with such wonderful fabrics to work with. yet missed the final finishing touch by placing a glori- ous skirt with an insignificant waist on so splendid a model.
 The coiffure suits the style of the wearer and her costume. It is one of those that almost any one will find becoming, except women with very thin faces and necks. For them there are other designs which soften or conceal their defects.
