And SO on in decreasing numbers
through the range of all the evils,
faults and shortcomings that man is
heir to or himself developes.
Here are a few of the letters last re-
ceived:
This from woman of decided opin-
ions:
1.-THE conceited and egotistical fool
who always has superior wisdom at his
finger ends and never loses an oppor.
tunity to impress woman with her
inferiority is he who soonest becomes
distasteful to women.
To the point:
MANS perennial vanity is his fault
most distasteful to woman. Why? 1t
is greater than hers. Eulalie."
A young Baltimore woman sends
this:
Each woman will give different
answer to your question. To me man S
greatest shortcoming is his drunken
ness Why? When a man is drunk all
that is noble or manly in him is lost,
and his animal propensities, his selfish
ness, are magnified, predominant. He
is not man then, but beast. But a
sober mans greatest fault is his neg
lect. He seems to think that love is
love forevermore. M. B."
This is signed, "a Woman of Ex-
perience. Perhaps better signature
would have been, "a Woman Who
Has Suffered"
Mans greatest fault, any woman
will tell you, is his selfishness, for from
that arises all his shortcomings. If
there is anything woman admires in
man it is his generosity. He tells a
woman he would dearly love to give
her hansome ,gifts'if he could but af.
ford it, And then he goes out and
spends three times as much as those
gifts would cost on himself"
Another woman who has suffered,
but in different way:
'Ingratude is mans geatest fault
II he is ungrateful he does not see and
cares less for the many sacrifices a
woman makes for him. All her kind
ness and love and tears are wasted on
an migrate. He seems to see only him.
self. he expects woman to give up
all for him and to him. 1t matters
not how hard she tries to please him,
it is all labor lost. If a man is not
grateful he is not loveable, for he cares
little to return true woman's love,
which is the one great step to her hap
piness. woman will forgive and for
get everything but to be unloved and
neglected by the man she loves.
lone Who Knows"
This Providence woman says man
cannot understand the gentle sex. She
writes
Il have re ad with pleasure the many
letters in the Sunday World on the
subject Of Mans Greatest Fault. His
seltishness is, think, very grave
fault. But it is the outcome OF
woman's influence over him. His
mother and sisters, if he has them,
have, from the cradle, taught him that
he is first in all things. What wonder
ne becomes a most selfish being? !
think he behaves very we'll under the
circumstances.
Il think that tie fault that is most
trying is his utter incomprehension of
woman's temperament. He expects
TO md her always cheerful and gay,
and never considers that her cares are
as great for her as his are for him.
You may say that is the outgrowth of
his selfishness, but disagree. think
1t is because he does not understand a
woman, for if he did he would try to
have her always sunny, if only for the
pleasure it would give him. If he
would only try to find the cause of
her changed manner and show some
appreciation of her, and with few
well-chosen words of advice and en-
couragement help her ON the stony road
OF life. she could bear all his other
faults with fortitude.

Unmarried men escape criticism here:
What is mans greatest fault? do
not include unmarried men in this dis.
custom:
A married mans greatest shortcom.
ing is lack of confidence in his wife
The utmost confidence is necessary to
mutual respect and continued love; the
want of it is a wedge that works
towards separation. Esther"
But both married and single men re-
ceive the attention Of this woman of
New Jersey.
