University of South Carolina Libraries
AUNT KATE SEI ICentinued from last week. I believe I left us in that inagiilleent building, the Library of Congr'ess. This 'was burned at the burnng of the cap ital by the British, but received a new start with tho puirehase of the libra ry of Thos. Jefferson. It Is the largest library in the Western I temisphere and the finest in the world. The build ing alone cost $6.500,000 and has a floor spac e of more than S acres. The building is of Concord granite on a framework of steel and the interior walls are wholly stucco and marble. So altogether beautiful it is I thought not irreverently of the "City not iade with hands" For half of that city's bright glory To mortal has never been told. Cottoran Art Gallery. You a (ind magni lieent steps when ever you eltecr any public building inl Washington and the art gallery was no exceptiol. except here was added inore magnificent, for great stoile lions guarded the steps. This building .contains works of art and was founded and en dowed by W'illiam Corcoran with a fund of $900,000. t may be of interet to add here that lie made great sums of money with the plac ing of governiien t loans during le mar with lexico.

The navy played a big part in the war and we'll not forget "it was the navy took them over, Alnd the navy brought. them back."
