ands of religious and national soci-
eties, followed by 5000 priests, 200

ficent and solemn procession, which
formed on the place d'Anne," fac
ing the basilica of Notre Dame and
marched the distance OF over three
miles to the foot of Montroyal where

all the appetite and enjoyment OF eating
has been lost to her in the cooking. There
are. however, many delightful ways OF

from the various kinds Of prepared soups

Once a woman gets acquainted with the
high excellence and almost unlimited uses
OF these soups she will never again bother
