When the late Collin I*. Huntington offered a prize for tlie best answer to Markham's "Man With the Hoe," Mrs. Masterson One of the host ami most prolific women humorists of the United States is Mrs. Kate Masterson, the exceedingly bright contributor to the pages of most of our bright papers. To name them would be to name all of the papers that publish short poems, stories and jokes. The New York Sun has been running for some time a series of articles by Mrs. Masterson about the Dobleys, a couple who are quite amusing. The Pobley sketches have been gathered into a book, which has taken its place among the successful ones of the season. Mrs Masterson's second book, it is understood, will be a collection of her verses. For a long, long time, and in spite of numerous instances to the contrary, the charge was made that women are devoid of a sense of humor. Many cases were cited of the inability of woman to understand a joke, while her claim to proficiency in the manufacturing of jests was never taken seriously. But now has come the dawning of woman's day in this as in so many other things of greater or less importance. It is freely conceded on all sides by the "superior" sex that a woman can take n joke, while her ability to make one is fully attested by a glance at the pages of our humorous journals. and Verses Are Well Known, Mrs. Kate Who«e Stories The Volume of Our Business last year was the largest in our history.
