AUNT KATE SEI
(Continued from Last Week)
We only had a few days in which to
eo a whole lot but I venture to say
we saw as much as anyone could in
the same length of time. There were
two reasons. We knew what we want
ed to see and we had a first rate
guide. Our first objective was the
capitol, of course, and the history and
geography learned at ';Rosedale old
field school came in mighty handy,

t'he prettiest, if not the most beauti

the "City of Magniflcent. Distances"
wide and spacious everywhere. Noth

was laid out 'by a Frenchman and
when that was done Lafayette and
.Washington were here. The streets
'un north and south, and east and
west like a checker board and the
avenues run triangular. When an ave
nue runs Into a street there Is left
a triangular piece of land that, Is al
ways made beautiful with grass and
Ilowers, fountains or statuary. It may
be interesting to tell the childrenl that
the Frenchman had in. mind that these
three-cornered pieces of land would

tho city was ever besIeged and thus
by grape shot and cannon ball rake
the avenues as the invaders marched

We rode lp Pennsylvania Avenue,
which is called "The Avenue" (and let
me add here that streets are -lettered
and numbered but the avenues are
named for-the states, and all the
names I heard were the thirteii orig

just addressed the Senate a few hours
before we reached the city and the
Senate chamber was deserted. We
looked in at the iempty space?. The
House of Representatives was in
session. ' One iembler was up1 speak

After we had rested awhile in the
gallery trying to hear the prohibi
tion speech, whenl we went out in the
halls I calmly announced I was going
no further till I saw the "Hall of
Fame". "There is no such place
here," said the gide. Spying a
page before they could stop me, I
pounced upon him and demande he

don' know what you aro Iialking

readers, ask for "Statuary Hall").
It is a beautiful place and the
