This hs 1t Of fault-hnding Is a most
d%isagreeahle one-one. too. that grows

declares a writer in the Milwaukee
Journal. 1t never appears to occur to
f%ault-inders that they themselves
may be lacking In taste or ability.
What is the need. anyway, of damp
ening the pleasures Of others in their
possession or actions7 One almost
always can find something to com-
mend. And II there Is nothing what.
ever, n would be well to be gentle In
criticism. or else say nothing. There
are countless little things we may wish
were different, but It Is not good to
keep pointing them out. Silence about
trifing things that one does not like Is
