Every Quarter Of the globe has con-

From the mammoth spectacle OF

the final hippodrome races, there is
little that is not absolutely new and
novel.
There is May Wirth. Australia s

the famous Wirth family. There is
Lily Lietzel, the worlds greatest

the Norseman's method of self-de-
fense: Among the scores of daring
riding acts none contains more thrills
than that introduced by Tan Mac
Pherson and his band of Scots. The
entire clan pitches camp in the great
main tent and gives exhibitions of the
most startling nature. Hillary Long,
who skates on his head in n1id-air, ap-
pears in the, same number with the
Melnotses and the. Ortons, slack-wire

Aside from men and women artists
there will be ALI. Loyafs wonderful
dogs, including ."Toque,' canine

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-12-13

To be sure, all are relieved at the
happy announcement of final peace,
but it is for us all to realize also
the trying times which will ensue after
the terrible conflict. For this reason
the women who have proved so patri
otic in the past have resolved not to
plunge blindly and buy the luxuries
that they had eliminated from their
wardrobe while a state of war existed.
So the styles will remain just as pre-
dicted during the winter season.
New York as a Creative Center
Probably one of the most important
outcomes of this world war is the es-
tablishing in America of industries
and services which we had hitherto
depended entirely upon other countries
for. The one which interests my lady
most is the absolute independence Of
America in the designing of and sue
cessful development of the prevalent
silhouette. When Paris decreed that
the skirts were to be short and mar
row, the American women frowned
and objected seriously to this proposed
fashion; and then when Paris wasn't
looking, we deliberately heightened
our skirts to the ankle, and now we
are enjoying one of the most favored
modes that has ever appeared in the
history of costume design.
This accounts for the charming, dis
tinctive, truly American silhouette
that is in character long, narrow and
sometimes draped. l saw stunning
example of this style on Filth Avenue

OKRA GOOD IN GARDENS

Okra, or gumbo, is desirable ad-
dition to the vegetables grown in the
home garden. 1t has been grown and
used for years in the south, where it
is found in almost every garden, and
is increasing in popularity in the
north.
In regions where the growing sea-
sons are very short, okra plants may
be started in hotbed or greenhouse
and transplanted to the open ground.
Okra is easily grown on any good
soil and a few plants will be sufficient
for the average family.
The edible portion consists of the

These luxurious looking things are
well established in the esteem of dame
fashion and her faithful followers.
Many new furs and pelts are used in
most unusual combinations. A mole

not attempt to wear such as this, the
privilege being reserved for the ma

Two Frocks for Mid Winter Wear,

There are times in the midst of the
winter season when one does not know
just exactly what to wear For such
times our designer has created these
two models which meet in every way
the requirements that are imposed.
The one which is developed in con-,
trasting materials is practical and
still gives a very dressy appearance.
The simple little thing, which is
helted, offers variety in the yoke eff
feet, back and front, the sides of
which will drop to the hip line and
form flaps for the pockets which
hang below. These pockets are at
tractively braided in an unusual mo-
tiff, soutache braid being used.
