TWO Brothers
Are in Same
Company
Mcdonald Boys Of This City Are iS
Germany-O4e Of the Boys Sees
Strange, Sight IN the Heavens Oh
Christmas Night.

Fortune has travelled with the two
sons Of w. P. Mcdonald Of this city,
namely, ]. A. and Flank E.. WHO are
now with the American army in Ger
many. These brothers enlisted on
the same day in this city and were
placed in the same company, regiment
and division so that they have been.
together during their year and a half
service in the army.
Ina letter from J.. AZ Mcdonald he
can men are leading, saying that they
are now located in the little town of
Mantaubuig, Germany, near the city
of Coblenz. In his letter, MI. Nc
Donald tells of seeing what he termed
the eastern star" and in describing. It
he says:
II saw something on Christmas
night that I v saw OF noticed in
the United States and hat was the
eastern STAR 1t was a star that hung
in the heavens lower than any Of the
other stars and the points Of it were
very plain to the naked eye; 1t had a
ray of light attached to it that hung
like a streamec and the whole effect
was that of the picture we have seen
many times, called The Star of
Bethlehem I was not sure but that
l was seeing things so I called some
of the boys and they too were aston
ished at the sight. I shall for.
get it. The impression the sight left
will be lasting.
The description which Mr.. Nc
Donald gives of what he calls 1.-The
Eastern Star" fits that luminar body
known to astronomers as "the new
~Cassiopeia" whose appearance was
first recorded by Ptolemy, and, on
November II, 1872, by Tycho Brahe.
Popular superstition in Europe has it
that this is the star which guided the
three Wise Men to the Manager at
Bethlehem where the Christ Child lay
sleeping, and from time to time un-
official reports have come Of the ap-
pearance Of stars of unusual bright
ness which have been popularity be-
lieved to be identical with the Nova
CaSsiOpeia."

VOGUE FOR DECORATIVE WORK
Combination of Braid and Embroidery
Where AIl-Braid Establishment is
Not Desirable.

When there is considerable sur
face to be decorated it is rather tedi-
Gus and tiresome to emhroider the
whole thing. And so the vogue for
combining both braid and embroidery
is a fortunate one where the all-braid
decoration is not desirable.
The braid part of the combination
usually confines itself to soutache, and
the embroidery is intsrsnersed in long
stitch dabs. According to this method,
the braidng need not take the form
of intricate scroll work. As matter
Of fact the work is very much more
effective when the design is simple
and bold. for the intervening embroid-
cry can then be quite large and so
| much more effective.
Large spirals 'spoked" with long
/ straight stitches in silk or wool make
very fetching decoration with silk sou
tache of contrasting color. Then the
zigzag treatment of Soutache may Dc
given more decorative value by INTRO
