$40, 600 for Thayer's
''Figure, Half Draped''

The late Abbott H. Thayer's painting
entitled "Figure - Half Draped" has
been sold by the Milcu galleries to n
private collector for $40 900, sum
which probably sets new mark for the
work of recent American painter. The
subject was recently exhibited with
other pictures from the Thayer estate
at the galleries and particular atten-
tion was attracted TO it as being one
Of the finest and most beautiful spcci-
mems Of Thayer's art.
The picture represents a seated fe-
male figure With rich olive green d7a-
rery across her knees. 1t is particu-
larry impres sive because Of It's majesty
and po'se. the fesn tones bcing Of sim
gu)ar Wilderness.
Although the painter never gave /. a
more complete title, il has come to be
known by friends OF the artists as
"Muse." since Tyre is indicated at one
side
Childe Hassam. the eminent painter,
III speaking of the picture, said THAT
paint could go no further in portrayinc
The human form. It will be exhibited
again by the permission of tho owner
at the Thayer Memorial Exhibition to
be held i'll March at the Metropolitan

,, LONDON, Jan. "7.-Rccina,d Nc
Ncnna, chairman OF the directors Of
tne London Joint City and Midland
bank and former Chancellor of the
br't'sh ExchcGucr. added his voice TO-
DAY TO the demand being made by busi-
ness men for lower income taxes. At
'hc banks annual meeting McKenna
said that present rates Of taxation were
un0erminin9 national energy aud that
the maximum which people could bssr
without mpniring the national spirit
OF business had been exceeded.
The speakers complaint agains St
present rates was the strongest vet
made hy leading banker. He insist
cd that however great The difficulties
TO be overcome. "thc strictcgt economy
in our national expenditures has be
come the first and most imperative no
ccsNSty of our time
Discussing The German rcrarations
question, Mckenna said that Gcrmary's
ability to manufacture and sell al price s
far below anything that Great Britain
could hope to compete with WAS a SC
rlous blow to Englsnd's foreign trade
and one of tho chief causes Of the
financial depression and WIDESPREAD un-
employment last year. Every market in
the world, he said was disturhcd by
tho depreciation OF the value Of The
mark.
The Lloyd George Cabinet at a long
meeting to-day considered the Gcddcs
report on national economies and heard
report from the Marquis Of Curzon,
Secretary for Foreign Affairs. on his
preliminary negotiations with the Paris
government on the proposed Anglo
French alliance. Later Premier Lloyd
George presided at meeting Of tic
Cabinets finance committee. 1T VIII ich
treasury experts were asked for their
opinion on Austria's application for an
emergency loan Of S2.50O,Oo Anothcr
matter under consideration was the
forced loan Of 100000, 900 gold marks
that the Berlin government has de-
clded to raise IN Germany.
All OF these questions arc intercic-
pendent. and Lloyd George feels the
necessity of making some disposition oi /
them ct once. rather than let thcm drag
rrtil the Genoa economic conference.
The country will judge Lloyd Geo1ge
now by the success he achieves in cut
ting down the national budget. Even
II the Premier is forced to abandon a
lot Of his projects, such as the pur-
chase Of land for ex-soldicrs, the
granting of export credits and the CON
t'huatlon OF the Ministry Of Transport,
ne s now seeing the necessity Of stabl-
Izlng the financial situation. and such
economics seem the best solutie,H de-
spite the criticism they will arouse in
some quarters.
1t was said in Downing Street to day
that the plans Of the British govern
inert for the Genoa conference would
be carried through to completion even
IT both France and the United States
refused to attend. Lloyd George is re-
celvlng support on this matter from All
