OPENING OF RECK'S FLORAL!

Well Known Florist Back
 At the Old Home.

After an absence of four months from their stand at 9S5 Main street which they have occupied for the past 25 years, the firm of John Beck & Son, one of the most prominent flor ists in the city, are to return. They will occupy their new store in the handsome bank building erected by T. L. Watson & Co. tomorrow. It has been redecorated and will be one of the most attractive and up-to-date stores in the city OF its completion.
 This well known firm was estab- ished in 1872 by the late John Beck. For 20 years it occupied a location on Main street on the site where the Se- curity building now stands. Through the tndefatigable efforts of MT. Beck as well as the reputation he estab- lished for dependability a fine tbusi- ness was built up. In 1900 his son. Carl Reck, was admitted to the firm and took charge of the business at his fathers death, and has since con- ducted it along the lines which first ensured the success of the undertak- ing.
 In its new environmnt the public may be sure of the same excellent service with the additional advantage of broader opportunity on the nart o-

picture is entirely of the crepe, even
to the girdle and sash ends. 1t is cut
with shaped yoke which extends
from the back and front to point I'M
der the arms. Aprons, hemmed and
tucked, are gathered into the yoke at
the front and back and hang to the
bottom of the skirt. The plain under
skirt has tucked panel gathered in
at each side. All tucks and seams are
hemstitched. The neck and sleeves
are finished with narrow binding of
satin and satin-covered buttons are
used for finishing touch on the
sleeves. The yoke is embellished with
a braided pattern in silk soutache. Silk
tassels weight the sash ends; dress
and trimmings are all in one color.
In dresses of soft materials the
straight-hanging and simplified modes
for midsummer have greatly simplified
things for the home dressmaker. Be-

latest of all fads is the fad for things
that have made-at-home look. Since

of narrow muslin braid about it in the
natural color of the straw. The same
braid is laid in Greek key design about
the upper brim and used for finish at
the brim edge. A border, called
drop" of malines, extends about the
brim edge. It's name betrays that it Is
worn turned down, sometimes, yelling
the eyes in a way altogether alluring.
Small flowers and leaves in linen color,
matching the straw braid, are placed
in wreath about the crown, and lit
tie lunches of silk-covered grapes, in
the colors of the ripened or ripening
fruit, are set in the wreath.
A wide milan, in the yellow shade
called sunbeam" is pictured in the
graceful shape, with sweeping brim-
lines that are much wider at the sides
than in the front and back. Three fiat
brims-two loops ard one end to
bow provide all the trimming needed
on this unusual design. One is In
brown, one in natter blue and one in
old rose, all of satin ribbon about four

white and black, in light colored, un-

loveliest and most alluring harmonies

Here are two new arrivals in pic

dress. 1t almost goes without saying
that it is of crepe georgette-although
it might be of wolfe Or of net. But
georgette has become a habit and we
have to compel ourselves to think
twice in order to consider any other
fabric for the light frOcks of midsum-

weeks has shown quite conclusively
that the Spartacists and the Independ-

that they had moderated. Certainly
