Although the name of Biddle is a
well known one to many besides the
select of Philadelphia, New York,
Boston, Washington, Baltimore and
elsewhere, it seems that this magic
name conveyed only dense confu-
sion to an Englishman once visit
ing the City of Brotherly Love, as
proved by the following little story:
After sojourn for week in that
quiet but delightful place, where he
was feted and honored to his hearts
content, he asked a friend confden-

SOUTH BRITAIN
THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.

All are rejoicing over the comple- tion of the Library building, which occupies the upper part of the small park near A. D Munson's house. The building is 22x26, with rubble work f,lndaLIon and chimney, the sides and ends covered with dark green shingles. It is lighted by six large win dows, the upper sash being latticed, the lower, single pane. The base ment, which is light and suitable for storage purposes, contains a hot-air furnace which heats the library room. Ira D. Hawkins, president of the Lii brary Association, designed the building and gave liberally toward the cost of erection. ASabel Mitchell first made a public library possible by the gift of large number of volumes,
 later by $500 toward suitable build ipg, the balance being given by resi- dents of this part of the town. A state grant is given yearly, a like amount being given by the town. To this has been added many volumes given by ndividuals-making in all about 2OOO books. Included are some valuable books belonging to a library association of nearly a century ago. South Britain is most fortunate in having several ladies, Mrs Munson, Mrs Williams and Miss Ruth Mitchell, who have given most unsparingly of their interest and time and to whom belong much credit for the success which the library has attained.
