In 1759 he wa* apprenticed to a Whitehaven merchant engaged in the American trade and was sent to set. He ruse rapidly, became a ship owner and by 1773 was making round voyages to the West Indies and to India. He then foil h«4r to the estate d»f his brother, William Paul Jones, a Virginia planter, who bad been adopted by William Jones. John Paul thereupon added the "Jones” and settled down as a planter in America, “the country of his fond election since the age of thirteen.” The outbreak of the American Revolution found the Colonies without a navy. Congress in Decenther 22. 1775, appointed Esek Hopkins comuMnder tn chief, with four captains. Jones was senior first lieutenant Commander Hopkins uent ah--ord his Hagship Alfred (Black Prince, a merchant ahip, armed and named for Alfred the Greatl tn January of 177« at Philadelphia. Thereuixw First Lieutenant Jones hoisted a yellow silk flag with the device of at pine tree and rattlesnake with the motto, ••Don’t Tread on Me” Tills was the first flag displayed on an American war vessel. The “Grand Union Flag” was also run up—thirteen stripes with the English union jack in the deld. Lieutenant Jones wag soon given command of rhe Providence, a 12-gun brig. With her he-cap Cured 15 prises. October 10 he was made captain end given the Alfred, a 24-gun ship, and he brought seven prises Into Boston on his first cruise. Jones was always after congress to carry the war to British waters. Accordingly he was given a general commission as captain in the American navy and ardered to report to the American commissioners in France. Captain Jones refitted the Ranger at Brest. France, and April I<K 1778. began that cruise of 28 days in British waters, which for daring and success are unsurpassed In the annals of naval history (see map) It was on this cruise that be tired the shipping In Whitehaven and off Carrlckfentns whipped the British 39-gun sloop Drake in a aquarv yardarm and yardarm tight, and made

Many apoeryt«hal narratives of the life of “Paul Jones. Notorious Pirate" are in existence. As late as 1905 in the ’journal of the Yorkshire Archeological society appeared a serie* of letter* describing contemporaneous raids with the title. “Paul Jones. Pirate.” Well, it was tough—a renegade Scottish gardener's son humbling the pride of the “Mistress of the Seas” tn plain sight of England, Ireland and Scotland; However, that’s all over now. In these days of “hands across the sea.” Captain Jones, ujam hls rettirn to Brest, asked for n larger and Mter ship than the Ranger, “crank, slow and of trifling force.” The king finally gave him an antiquated India merchant ff ship. Due de Duras, which Jones renamed Bonhomme Richard in compliment of Benjamin Franklin. The fleet with which he made hls second cruise in British waters comprised Bonhomme Richard; Alliance. 32-gun American frigate; Pallas and Vengeance, converted merchantmen. and Cerf. 18-gun cutter. Jones wrote Franklin that the Richard was too old to be much use, but that he would attempt “an essential service to render myself worthy of a better and faster . sailing ship.” He also wn>te Franklin that Capt. Pierre Landala of the AlUanci* was apparently a crazy man. He was a French officer and his crew was nondescript, with few Americans in it. The squadron sailed from France August 14, 1779. By September 22 It had nearly. completed the circuit of the British isles (see map), had Andured 17 vessels and thrown the entire coast into the wildest alarm. “The pirate Jones, a, rebel subject ami criminal of the state.” was its commander’s standing with the British authorities. Then suddenly, with the Richard. AKiaoce and . Pallas -in company off Flamborough Read, appeared around the promontory a fleet of 48 sailmerchantmen convoyed by the 44-gun frigate Serapls. Captain Pearson and the Counters of Scarborough, about the equal of the Pallas. The merchantmen scattered, the Richard and Pallas headed tor the enemy and the Alliance drew off to a distance. Then followed what is probably the most remarkable naval combat In history. Features of the murderous fight between the Richard and Serapia from 7 to 10:30 p. m : . include these: The fighting was at half pistol-shot. At the first broadside two of the W-pounders of the Richard burst, killing their’crews; the other fbur were thereupon abandoned. In 45 minutes the Richard’s fourteen 12-ponnders were disabled and she "as fighting with three 9-pounders. The

At this precise moment the Alliance drew close and poured several full broadsides into the Richard, killing many. She then drew off. Th* Richard was now on fire near her magazine and sinking. Jones released several hundred British prisoners and made them pump and tight the fire. Finally Pearson hauled down his flag. Nearly half of both crews had been killed, and wounded.

Usually when she tried to make them a particularly good sha;*e 'hey didn’t come out so well as now and again they did by accident. But they all were excellent to eat and they nil were pretty good shapes. She used tq cut out the doughnuts, after the mit'.ure was all finished and when she had rolled them out on the board in the kitchen, which she had covered with flour so they couldn't stick, with a round top of a tin which she had washed carefully first. VThen she had the top of a little tin which she used to make the hole in the center of every dottghnut. That was splendid and she loved the big doughnuts with their round holes. 41 They were such fat-looking doughnuts. They were such delicious, light doughnuts. But then she almost liked the holes best of all. Os course, perhaps they should not be called the holes, as the holes in the doughnuts were the real holes. There was nothing to eat where there was a hole. Os course not. That was absurd. The doughnuts were plenty big enough without being solid. The holes made the doughnuts just right. But the parts she had cut out with the smaller tin she cooked in the hot fat after the doughnuts with the holes had been cpoked. She called these the doughnuts’ ’ holes. They came out round and i chubby and as cunning as could be. She sprinkled these with powdered sugar, too. When she was all through there were two huge platters covered with doughnuts. On one platter were the doughnuts without the holes. On the other platter were the holes I Yes, what had been taken out of every doughnut in order to make the hole was now a delicious little doughnut itself.

FALL COATS PASS IN REVIEW; FROCKS IN WOOL OR SILK

'T'HE procession of new fall coats is beginning to pass in review; important looking and gracious garments, that Immediately inspire respect and Interest, are in the vanguard and we are meeting them for the first time. There is nothing easy-going and casual in their style points—they are original, beautiful, assertive and increasingly emphasized when coats for formal wear or semidress come into view. The most important style note Is the changed silhouette—the new coats are fuller and the flaring skirtline has gone a long way toward replacing the

With it there is a tailored trimness In the body-of the garment—very long sleeves and high collars adding length of line, and there is much dignity in design. Fur maintains its place as a border for the bottom of many coots and has raptured other positions. Besides collars and cuffs in great variety fur supplies trimming touches in other way* and is much used in patches and em-

placements on dressy coats. A handsome coat of the sports type that will make a strong appeal to younger women is shown in the picture. It is made jf natural kasha, lined with red crepe which appears in the turned back cuff and revers. It is bordered with American opossum fur and has a decoration of button* down the sides. In this model the fullness Is developed in front and the fur border emphasizes the flare In the skirt, but the coat hangs straight at the back.

Cubist Furs Printed silks and printed cottons have run the gamut of popularity and now we have approaching us printed furs. Such skins as mole, colt, mouse, gazelle and antelope are being blockprinted in elaborate designs. Frequently this Is done in squares or lozenges with skins of opposed colors placed next each other. Belt* Are Featured. For some time there has been a growing tendency to feature belt* on

tantes, for presentation at the court « fashion. One style show follows anotts er in the large cities and here the new arrivals make their bow. There has been some doubts as to whether soms of them would be well received or not; for certain of them have little lineage and few can point back t« any particular period for their origin They are modernists and original, bt* ? well behaved and rarely bizarre. First and most Important is ths tailored note in street and afternooa frocks and in coats. There is no doutt about its success for American women have long admired tailored styles, in

this connection the return of wool te favor must be noted, especially H smooth-faced cloths of high lusterbroadcloth dr “satin broadcloth," as it Is called, and fine flannels. Next in order of importance is increased fulness, by means of plaits or flares. Bui this increased fulness in tailored dresses does not always mean a widet silhouette. Plaits are the favored medium for introducing fulness. There is almost no exception to the rule ol long sleeves, but in these and in necklines there is a pleasing variety. One of the newcomers, show* above, might be developed In a smooth*

faced wool cloth, ribbed silk or crepe satin and one may study In the picture its adaptation of certain favored style features. A group of plaits ut each side, in the skirt, release a little fulness below the hips and they are accented by buttons about them, covered with material like* the dress. The vestee and undersleeves appear to be of tucked net banded with a very narrow braid and the tie of narrow ribbon with’ long ends is a particularly effective finish for an excellent model. • JULIA BOTTOMLEY. <45.

frocks. "In evening frocks it takes the form of a sash, but for daytime wear there is apt to be a suggestion of a sash rather than the actual belt itself. In some instances, however, if ths frock is of the simple morning type, there is a belt of leather in a wide or narrow width. . Curled Coq for Hate Curled cot.
