II You have not a MORE jacket you
are not worthy Of consideration this
spring A MORE jacket that flares
fushionably in the skirt and initiates it
self proudly in the sleeves. and is volu-
minous as to revers-that is the object
OF every right-minded woman's ambi-
ton this season. one clever woman
has made herself two MORE jackets at
the expense OF one.
She had made an Eaton jacket with
double revers, one set of black molre
edged with white, and one of white
MORE edged with black. The sleeves
were Of the approved size and shape
and had cuffs edged with white. This
Elton Jacket was worn with her black
moire skirt and a vest of black EN-
broldered IN purple and gold pansies.
And that made a very charming gown
Then she made deep coat-sl,irt
OF MORE which fitted neatly beneath
the Elton jacket and gave it the effect
Of regular coat. And this combina-
ton she wears with her cloth and silk
skirts, and thereby the admiration and

proves unsuccessful the victim is un-
able to explain even the cause OF the
rash act or why II was committed.
This We term temporary alteration Of
the mind caused by permitting one
thought, idea or purpose to wholly
absorb the action thereof. Under the
above circumstances. suicide or its at
tempt could not properly or Justly be
called an act OF cowardice. An Incl
dent, however, which recently took
place in this state would serve TO re-
verse the above decision. A young
man was caught Ia the act Of robbing
a store but escaped his captors and a
short time afterward was seen hasten
ing across a vacant field near by;
several OF the inhabitants started in
pursuit and were gaining rapidly on
the fugitive who, seing that capture
was Inevitable. deliberately halted,
placed revolver to his head, and
blew his brains out. This act was an
exhibition OF gross cowardice.
In view OF the above It would seem
that the question heading this article
could not be definitely decided. either
In the affirmative. or negative, as the
causes are 80 varied and possibilities
so great Suicide. however. is an eN
tremely dangerous habit, cowardly or
otherwise ny.

Last night Miss Jeffreys Lewis, TN
actress who has been seen before in
Fort Worth In characters which gave
promise Of better things to come, left
the beaten path OF former success and
ventured to present TO the theater-
goers OF this city play which has no
single element OF lasting greatness.
From literary standpoint the play
called Shattered Idols" is not even
mediocre. From a moral standpoint
1t is positively revolving. The author
has apparently conceived the idea that
American morals are on the decline.
and while he may In a measure be cor
rect in his assumption. a play Of the
character OF Shattered Idols" will have
to be pruned, and grated with less
broad and suggestive violations OF the
accepted idea OF what constitutes pu-
rity, before 1t can be made deservcdly
popular. With plot without continue
ity. dialogue without merit except its
lowering character. a moral tone about
which the less said the better. the play.
II 1t can be 50 designated, Is beneath
Miss Lewis recognized ability. and
should find its way to the stage Of the
honk-a-tonk theaters, whose patrons
revel In such trash.
