April 22.—The irnatc, fi nance committee was tn secret session late lonight in an endeavor to iron out the blanket appropriations hill so it could go to the printer tomorrow and eome up for consideration when the senate convenes Tuesday. s Knotty problems confronting the committee were appropriations for the Yankton bridge, state railway commission and activities of state government. These items, if added to the hill, would be in excess of the governor's recommendations and would require 60 per cent of the total vote to put them through tit*1 senate ami the same percentage to put them through the house There is little doubt but that ad • ditlons would be accepted by the senate: but there is much apprehen sion as to whether they will pass the house.

Palis. April 22.—Judging from the appearance of tHe stylish horde floun dering about at Liongchamps this aft ernoon. the average social gathering for this summer is destined to re semble a cross between a Balkan fete and a South Sea island tea party. Two definite novelties blossomed forth at the raced today. The first was a hpnch stolen from the kitchen, many of the wonven wearing aprons. The other was the very latest things in the use of fish fins for hat decot a* tions. $ The aprons were not white, but were violently embroidered red, greeft. blue and yellow cabalistic designs imi tating the ceremonial garb of the Balkan peasantry from whom the in spiration came. The aprons vied in size from tiny aprons resembling the featur^, of the Masonic costume, to large ample smocks heavily embroid ered with gold i bread. Kish Kin* Favorite*. The effect of the aprons ts to ac centuate the lower half of the Innly instead of the upper half, which has been the all-conquering aim of the designers ever since the reaction set in against the bespangled and over decorated corsages of 1922. The incredible use of fish fins as an adjunct to fashion, was made pos sible by’ the importation to France of several marvelous varieties of tropical fish, including the “acaras ' which has a nose like a dog, but which boasts a beautifully colored ta An other fish is the “scalare" wiffr ruhi how fins. Both of these are front Brazil. The “gauze-winged” tiger fish from the C'hina sen is a hot favorite by reason of its brilliant blue steel like fin. which after death sets rigidly without lasing its color. The “peacock" fish from the West Indians. with its phnsporescent scales, is a fish which, after special treatment, produces tjje original beau tiful trimmings of that kind for toques, hats and shoes. “Aquarium" Ilals Expensive. Only a few of the society women sorted the "aqiiarium hats.” how ever. owing to the cost, which is al most prohibitive, the reason for the prices being the rarity of the fish and the cost of transportation.
