RUSHING Work c, Appropr alton .

RUSHING Work o Appropr ations.
The Appropriations Committees of
the Senate and House are rushing
the hearings on bills in order to be
able to make at least a partial re-
port to the Legislature this week.
Already the House has prepared to
make report on 400 Of the 500 bills
sent to it, while the committee from
the upper branch will have list OF
100 of the bills sent to it ready for
Senate consideration at the same
/ time This influx of appropriations
into the Legislature at one time Will
oongest the calendar and necessitate
| considerably faster action on the
| bills that precede the new measures.
/ The action of committees to rush the
| bills in at this time is at the sugges-
| lion of Governor Tener, who has eX-
| pressed a desire to pass upon some
Of the most important ones OF the
| list while the Legislature is in ses-
| sion. The Governor intends TO pur-
sue the policy he laid down at the
beginning Of the session to permit
The supporters of the bills to come to
some satisfactory agreement as TO
the amounts necessary for the in
stitutiOns affected and to also enable
the Representative offering tho
measure to make any corrections
that may be necessary. In this way
40 worthy measures will fall on a
echnicality. The Tener plan Is IN
.irely a new idea of the administra.
ton and although It will crowd the
calendars, the members Of both
branches are satisfied, since they feel
1t will mean a fair deal for everyone
The appropriations asked for this
session approximate $l30,O0O,0OO,
and since the revenues amount tc
only $GO,0O0,000 there will necessar'
lily have to be a substantial cutting.
It was intimated by members of the
House Committee that few, if any, of
the institutions applying for the first
time, especially educational institu-
tons, would receive any appropria-
ton.

KEY TO FLOWERS.
A carnatlon Luncheon.

Now that Queen Mary has desig-
mated the carnation as the coronation
flower It is enjoying increased popu-
larity. A very smart luncheon was
given for a girl who is soon to be a
bride. The table was set for twelve,
the centerpiece was a low glass bowl
filed with dozens of pink carnations;
In a circle Just above the place plates
were punches of the same carnations
twined with loops Of pale green ma
line. Afterward, when dessert was
served, each girl pulled bit of the
malne nearest her and brought out
the bouquet intended for her. To II
the bride tied notes sealed with gilt
hearts telling the happy news. The
candles were shaded with exquisite
creations Of pink silk with gold braid;
the holders we're crystal twined with
smilax. The place cards were pink
carnations cut out and tinted with wa
ter colors. the names we're lettered in
gold and green. A charming conceit
was the dessert plates. heart shaped
decorated with carnations and the
brides monogram in gold These we're
ordered especially as a gift and made
by a clever woman famous for her
