WIDOW BEDoTT NOT A MAN
To THE EDITOR:

o THE EDITOK:
In the very interesting paper concerning
the wit of women in a recent SUNDAY
MAGAZINE noticed that the writer stated
that Mrs. Darlington and the Widow Bedott
were both men. Mrs. Darlington was un-
doubtedly man; but the Widow Bedott
was Mrs. Frances Miriam Whitcher, wife
of a clergyman who lived, think, in Oneida
County, New York.
hope the writer will excuse my calling
attention to the mistake. It has been so
often stated that women have no humor in
their makeup, that we cannot afford to lose
so bright an example of fun maker and care
lightener from our ranks. NJ H.

THE NATIONAL EPIC

1 1t has been said that America
has no national epic 10 depict the
struggles and conquests of the people.
But this journal rises to remark that
such statement is no longer correct
The error is due to the fact that the
modern epic has so departed from old
form that its nature has not been dis
cerned.. 1t is adapted to modern con-
ditions and wears a modern dress. 1t
is not written with rhythm. nor do its
lines tinkle with the tintinnabulations
of the bells. But there is harmony in
its presentations of the great achieve
mentS of Americans and the longings
and hopes and aspirations of nation
There is breadth of concept and wise
discernment in its portrayals, and no
Just man can follow this work in its
serial presentation of the whole life
of great and compact nation but he
will say that here at last is the great
American epic. And its name is Col
lier's.
