moon came up. Jones ran his ship alongside the
enemy to board Have you struck your colorsY'
hailed Pearson. II have not yet begun to fight, :"
answered Jones. The Americans dashed the ships
together, bow and stern. The 18-pounders of the
Scraps made matchwood of the Richards hull.
The Americans transferred their fight to the deck
and rigging An american grenade exploded a
pile of ammunition the deck of the Scraps,
killing and wounding 38. The Americans prepared
to board.
At this precise moment the Alliance drew close
and toured several full broadsides into the
Richard, killing many. She then drew off. The
Richard was now on fire her magazine and
sinking. Jones released several hundred British
prisoners and made them pump and fight the
fire. Finally Pearson hauled down his flag.
Nearly half of both crews had been killed and
wounded. The Richard quickly sank.
Jones then sailed into the Texel in Holland
with the Scraps, the Countess Captured by the
Pallas) and his prizes December %, 1779 Hol-
land asked Jones to leave. He sailed the AL
lance boldly out of port in broad daylight,
escaped the British blockading fleet, ran down
the English channel and arrived safely in France
Captain Jones was welcomed with enthusiasm.
The king gave him gold sword and made him
a Chevaer Of France Landas dismissed
from the navy and ordered to leave the country
Jones reached Philadelphia February Is 1871.
Congress rendered him a vote OF thanks and gave
him command of the new 74-gun ship America,
then nearly completed. The Revolution was over
before Jones could again get to sea.
The restless spirit of John Paul Jones then led
him to seek naval service with Russia. He be-
rear admiral and one of his brilliant ex-
ploits was the defeat of the Turkish navy at the
battle of the Liman (1788) He quit the service
because of intrigues and went to Paris, where he
interested himself in the French revolution. In
1892 he appointed American consul to Algiers.
but died in Paris July 49, 1892
The Republic then promptly forgot all
about John Paul Jones for more than hundred
years. In 1905 Ambassador Horace Porter found
his body, after long search, in the old st. Louis
cemetery for foreign Protestants. His body was
conveyed to the United States by an American
naval squadron especially sent for the purpose.
1t was inferred with ceremony at Annapolis. Dur
ing President Taft's administration a $4,000
statue herewith reproduced) was unveiled in
Potomac park, Washington.

TAILORED BLOUSE
FOR GENERAL WEAR
Popular Garment Favored /;
Suitable for Use on
Any Occasion.

There is no place to which the blouse
may not go these days, observes a
fashion writer in the New York Herald
Tribune. 1t is seen on the golf links,
trinity tailored about town or at tea,
in soft shades of sheer materials with
slim skirts to match; dining on the
roof garden or dancing on the veranda
of the country club, in graceful Swirls
of chiffon, worn over matching or con-
trasted slips.
The sports type Of blouse which
readily adapts itself for use in a va
riety of costumes, relies for its at
traction upon the beauty of it's ma
terial and the fineness of its tailoring.
simplicity is the underlying theme, but
1t is simplicity deftly developed into
an exquisite harmony of fine tucking,
pla1ts, jabots and novel collar and
pocket treatments. Crepe de chine
radium, tub silk and fine cotton broad
cloth, which at little distance gives
all the appearance of a firm fine silk,
are the media in which sports blouses
appear at their best. For a sports
blouse, of course, must have some
body, must tub well, and, despite it's
dainty appearance, stand the wear
and tear which active participation in
sports entails.
Trim, mannish collars, which may be
worn open, or buttoned up close to the
throat, are en- regle, although occasion
ally a less severe note is sounded, such
as the simple v or rounded neckIine,
or fold which develops into scarf
end. Sleeves this season have been
principally long and tight with tailored
cuffs, but the vacation season brought
out an increasing number of short
sleeved models.
The type of blouse which numer-
ically leads all the rest is the semi
tailored jumper with matching skirt,
most often developed of georgette
crepe in the pastel shades, but some
times shown in crepe de chine or tub
silk as WELL Here long and short
sleeves again divide the field, with
honors going to the former A new
and striking touch is the application of
modernistic design or of a conven-
tionalized animal across the pocket or
at the side front of the blouse. In
some cases this is painted, in others it
is achieved by embroidery; in all cases
it is effective. With this exception the
sheer jumpers are usually unadorned.

her prize. Thereupon John Paul Jones became
of terror throughout the coasts of Great
Britain. pirate they called him then-and do
in places to this day. Many apocryphal narratives
of the life Of paul Jones, Notorious Pirate" are
in existence AS late as 1905 in the journal of the
Yorkshire Archaeological society appeared a
series of letters describing contemporaneous
raids with the title, Paul Jones, Pirate" Well,
it was tough-a renegade Scottish gardeners
humbing the pride of the Mistress of the Seas"
in plain sight of England, Ireland and Scotland
However that's all now in these days of
''hands across the sea
Captain Jones, upon his return to Brest, asked
for a larger and better ship than the Ranger
''crank, slow and of trifing force" The king
finally gave him an Anticipated India merchant
ship, Due de Duras, which Jones renamed Bon
homme Richard in compliment of Benjamin
Franklin. The fleet with which he made his sec
ond cruise in British waters comprised Bon
homme Richard Alliance 32-gun American
frigate; Paas and Vengeance, converted mer-
chantmen and Cert, 18-gun cutter. Jones wrote
Franklin that the Richard too old to be much
use, but that he would attempt IAN essential sery
ice to render myself worthy of better and faster
sailing ship" He also wrote Franklin that Capt
Pierre Landais of the Alliance was apparently
crazy man. He was French officer and his
was nondescript. with few Americans in it.
The squadron sailed from France August ID

into the widest alarm. "The pirate JONES' a rebel

ma1gders standing with the British authorities.
Then suddenly, with the Richard Alliance and
Pal1as In company off Marlborough Head ap-
peared around the promontory fleet of 40 sail
merchantmen conveyed by the 44-gun frigate
Scraps, Captain Pearson and the Countess of
Scarborough, about the equal of the Pallas. The
merchantmen scattered the Richard and Pallas
headed for the enemy and the Alliance drew off
to distance. Then followed what is probably the
most remarkable naval combat in history.
Features of the murderous fight between the
Richard and Serapis from to 10 80 p. M, in
clude these: The fighting was at half pisto-shOt.
AT the first broadside two of the 18-pounders of
the Richard burst, killing their crews the other
four were thereupon abandoned In 40 minutes the
Richards fourteen 12-pounders were disabled
and she was fighting with three 9-pounders The

Matter of Making Over Simple for Dressmaker

With care separate waist and skirt
pattern can be used In cutting over a
skirt. A quaint little bodice frock with
a gathered skirt was evolved from the
skirt Of lavender beach cloth MILDLY
suit. This dress was trimmed with a
soft white fichu collar and ruff1ed cuffs.
The full skirt of a dress three or
four years old often can be used for
the main portion of a new garment by
turning the material the wrong way
and "piecing out" the length with
scraps from the waist, sleeves, girdle
or sash.
By studying fashion cuts the re-
sourceful woman can find new ideas
whereby she can utilize the old dresses
which are too out of date to wear with
ease of mind, but are ''too good" to
discard because of the excellent quail
ity of the material in them.

relying on tiny scarf collars tucks,
bindings and their own attractive
coiors for the charm which is unde-
niably theirs.
Latest of the blouses to come into
favor is the 44-inch tunic Of Powered
chiffon or georgette crepe which is also
seen in printed silks. Because these.
when worn over a matching or con-
trasting slip, take the place of a dress,
they are as practical as they are
charming.

Wraps With Fur Lining

One Of the most striking innova-
tons of the new season is a wrap de-
signed for either day or evening wear
which shows the use of fur as lining
rather than for the outer side of the
coat. In its formal version it reflects
the feeling for Innings Of costly and
beautiful furs which provide the neces-
sary warmth to evening wraps Of lus-
trcus satins, soft silks and velvets.
