charming home dinner gowns, tea

bought ready-made and really cheaper
than one can make them at home If
carefully adjusted, these look delightful.
You cannot make glace petticoats as
cheaply as you can buy them, neither can
you so skilfully manipulate under

you have collected all these things you
have only to put them on with great
care to get very excellent effect.
There are many lovely embroideries,
particularly in gold and silver, hut these
must be bought with discretion. A
| great deal of money can be wasted in this
way, and good frock ruined by inferior
accessories. The study of dress is very

on the long, serpent-like skirts of two

still another shade is introduced into

is dismissed by charmingly light
cravat of lace, or crepe de chine. The

inevitable trimming of fiat braid and a
touch of gold or oxidized silver, and
perhaps an aigrette to correspond.

But probably the idea of birds and
feathers as a trimming is disliked by
many people as suggestive of savagery,
and associated with tar, blue paint and
feathers!
At any rate, there is nothing really
pretty about the majority of decora-
tive birds as placed at all sorts of odd
angles on fiat plate-shaped hats. Big,
soft rosettes and cockades of silk and
silver are infinitely smarter on the mill

portant event is as follows: 81 had the
honor to hoist with my own hands the
flag of freedom, the first time it was
displayed, on the Delaware; and l have
attended it with generation ever since
on the ocean,"
The account of how Jones won rec
ognitiOn for the flag from FranGe, the
first ever given it by foreign nation,
is exceedingly interesting: 1t was at
Quiberon, France, where the Ranger,
his ship, was being rcftted, prepare
tory to a descent upon the coast and
shipping of Great Britain. Jones dis
played great professional address and
characteristic frmness in compelling
the French admiral to give the Ameri-
can flag the first salute it ever received.
He wrote to the French commander,
who had ignored his claims: cit is true,
my command at present is not impor-
tant, yet, as the senior American Off
GER at present in Europe, it is my duty
to claim an equal return of respect to
the flag of the United States that would
be shown to any other flag whatever"
And he stood by his contention until
the boom of the French guns was heard
in salute of the then young Glory. OF
his triumph he was naturally very
proud, and wrote to the marine
committee at home: 81 am happy in
having it in my power to congratulate
you on my having seen the American
flag recognized in the fullest and COM
pletest manner by the flag of France"
The story of Paul Jones exploits reads
like the widest fiction. The engage
ment between the Scraps and the Bon
Homme Richard, SO named in honor of
his friend Franklin, was the most des-
perate and most remarkable in naval
chronicles. AS close and deadly fight,
hand to hand, and accompanied by the
dreadful circumstances that can attend
a sea engagement, it has no parallel.
It's incidents have been selected as the
foundation of fictitious narratives of
maritime combats. Mr.. Cooper, the
celebrated American novelist, and AL
len Cunningham, have both chosen
Paul Jones as the hero of romances.
For his services congress gave him
vote of thanks and later presented him
with a gold medal, and now, after a
century and a quarter since he won
the victory over the Scraps, it may be
that money will be appropriated to
bring his remains back to this country
and give them distinguished burial

well. The only trimming necessary is
one shaded feather.
I have seen a charming toque OF
mink in the turban shape. The ban
deau under the brim was of wine-col-
ored velvet, and crushed roses of the
same shade. Round the crown was a
ruching of velvet, and at the side were
three rather small plumes.
There is no doubt about it that wine
color and mink or sable are beautiful
mixtures and give CHEEKY touch of
color to the somberness of autumn
days.
Brown has been tremendously used
in Paris. For morning wear brown felt
round hats are de rigueur, tilted over
the eyes by raised bandeau, and
trimmed with clusters of autumnal
leaves and berries resting on the Golf
fure, and also round the crown.
A mixture of royal blue and white
is also popular in Paris. A charming
three-cornered white beaver hat had
strappings of blue velvet caught by
fancy filigree buttons. 1t is curious
that royal blue should die so hard in
Paris. 1t was favorite color last win
ter, and still holds it's own. White, too,
is always popular in the winter with
dark furs. Of course, it is extravagant
to wear, but nothing looks so well.
White corduroy velvets are perfectly
lovely, and will be a leading feature of
the early Monte Carlo fashions. They
are softened with lace and panne trim
mings, and worn with stoles of sable
or mink and brown hat. l must say
that with light dresses, think dark
hats are preferable.
The 1880 bonnet is daily gaining pop
ularity and will continue to do so un-
til the spring arrives and we put away
our winter garments of fur and velvet.

John Paul Jones, Famous
ADericuD Naval Hero ~ "
Something of the Mon Who Played So Prominent Port in
Our Eorly National History.

At the time of Admiral Jones death
the French people believed that the
United States, whom he had so essen
TALLY served, and with so much honor
to himself, would claim his remains,
and in order that disinterment and
shipment might be made easy, as we
have already said, the body was placed
in -leaden coffin. The American con-
gress, then called the national assem-
bly,, paid the memory of the dead naval
hero the honor of sending deputation
of IL of their body to attend the flu
neral, but that was all. Neither the
American ambassador, Goueverneur
Morris, nor the United States thought
it necessary to claim the remains and
have them returned to the land of his
adoption. No marble slab or monu-
ment has ever marked the grave, but
instead the vulgar tread of business
life has been felt over the spot, and not
even tablet set in the wall of the
building is visible to remind one that
somewhere way down in the soil be-
meath there lie the bones of one of the
greatest naval heroes which ever
walked deck or faced an enemy in
deadly combat.
But the failure of the United States
to honor Admiral Jones does not arise
from his lack of claim upon this coun-
try as one of it's loyal citizens, for by
direct avowal on his part America was
the land of his adoption. He used to
say: America has been the country of
my fond election from the age of IL,
when first saw it." And it may not
be known that his hand was the first
which ever raised the stars and stripes
over a ship. His account of this i'm

lions are that the naval man is to come
into his own again.
Considerable study has been made Of
the question of defense for the Hawaii
an islands, but active measures for es-
Harbor have been delayed from time to
time. The preliminary projects for
Pearl Harbor were in readiness quite
a while before congress voted the re-
quired money for the improvements,
and after the sum was voted the work
Navy Journal, commenting on the
"uncompleted links in our chain of ma
tional defenses," says that the work
projected at Pearl Harbor is of special
importance and should be pushed to
completion with all possible speed, but
that it would be downright folly to es-
tablish the station without properly
fortifying it, ga first-class naval base
at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and an
other in the Philippines, both adequate
ly fortified, would be almost indispen-
sable to the navy in a struggle on the
Pacific, and without them our squad
rons would have to work under almost
Unreasonable disadvantages"

tribute.
The navy was established. 1t con-
sisted of single ship made over into
a war vessel. This mighty armada, in
the endeavor to make its master en-
peror of Polynesia, set sail for Samoa
The enterprise did not meet with sue

vessel never returned to Hawaii TO
give in his report, having fallen under
the many seductions that invite one to
linger in the isles of the South sea-. 1t
is said the ammunitions and guns
were bartered for gin; but, be that as
it may, dismantled ship, minus all
war paint, crawled back to Hawaii, and
the wreck of the Hawaiian navy for
years was one of the sights of Honolu-
LUIS water front.
Queen Liliuokalani, too, had guards

royal army was not equal to the num-

thus encouraging the piping times of

of modest dimensions, but sufficiently
spacious to accommodate the so SOL
diers of the kingdom.

period in it's history had need of show

blockhouse at Honolulu and raised the
Russian flag. Whereupon Kalanimoku,

an authority as Capt. Mahan regards
their possession as of the utmost i'm
portance. According to Capt Mahan:
These islands are the key of the en-
tire Pacific, and for foreign nation to
hold them would mean that our Pacific
coast ports and our Pacific ocean COM
MERGE would be at the mercy of that
nation"
Immediately Hawaii was annexed to
this country United States soldiers
were ordered to Honolulu for garrison
duty, and that same summer Honolu-
LUIS population was increased by the
addition of So officers and 1,605 men.

ed the spot underneath the floor of the
photograph gallery as the place where
John Paul Jones was buried. 1t is also
said that plan of the cemetery is in
existence which indicates the exact To-
cation of Jones grave. But some doubt
has been expressed as to whether the
actual bones of the famous commander
of the Bon Hommie Richard could be
recovered, even though the grave were
accurately located, for, lying in such
close proximity to others who were
buried in the cemetery, there would be
great danger of confusion. 1t has been
suggested as a way around this diff
Guilty that the remains of Jones could
be identified by the skull, if by no
other means, for the admiral had a
head which was nearly twice as large
as that of an ordinary man. But in
considering the difficulty the fact has
been overlooked that at the time of
burial the remains were enclosed in a
leaden casket, which ought TO keep the
dust and bones from mixing with the
surrounding soil and make Identified
ton easy.

set up for himself guard (of "a pal

uniforms designed by the famous Fred
eric. 1t must have been a sight for
gods and men, those mild, kindly
brown gentlemen in the garb of the
Prussian grenadier.
Then Kalakaua desired to emphasize
still further his kingliness, yea even to
build up a great empire-perhaps still
keeping in mind German models. He
dreamed of a great Pacific ocean do
minion, and his fancies were fostered
by certain revelations made by his
kahunas, soothsayers. They told him
that he was to become the strongest
monarch of the Pacific, was to unite
under his rule all the islands of the
Polynesia. AS preliminary to the
necessary conquests, he determined to
build navy, and planned to send out in
his vessels of war valiant men to de-

Very few of us want two velvet or
panne dresses at once, but such skirt
with two bodices is extremely useful, and
unless of striking color, no one real
ICES that the smart skirt does duty on so
many occasions. Most of these velvet
frocks have good deal of real lace on
the bodice-destined for day wear-as
well as on the evening blouse.
This is, without doubt, most gor-
Geous season as far as fashions are con-
cerned, and the wearing of lace has come
more than ever into vogue with the re-
yival of the 1880 modes Imitation laces
are being dyed blue, brown, gray or
what you will, and these for the newest
ball gowns of the moment.
Bright royal-blue is much en- evidence,
and so are brown and gray. These dyed
laces have shades of white or cream left
in them, and although it does not sound
particularly attractive, / assure you in
reality an all-brown or all-blue frock is
charming. Of course, these laces are
mixed with light fabrics such as chiffon,
chiffon wolfe, and anything of gauze-
like texture.
I do not think enough attention is
given among new fashions to spotted
taffetas. There is something to my mind
deliciously quaint as well as useful about
shot taffetas spotted with black velvet

Time and time again has the report

At the present time much interest

made an appropriation for the purpose
of disinterring the remains of Admiral
