The Lille Pilgrims and The Book
Beloved"
Written for The Commonw cath.

Tuesday night, August Goth, in
the auditorium Of the graded school
the Episcopal Sunday school and a
few others, under the tutelage of
Miss Kate Cheshire and Miss Anna
Clark, presented the mystery play,
The Little Pilgrims and the Book
Beloved"
The Little Pilgrims' were Miss
Ellen Speed and Master Luther Pur-
rington, who had come from the
land Of China seeking Mother
Church, who was personifed by
Miss Anna B. Clark.
These little folks had the chief
dramatic action of the play and did
their parts admirably, while Miss
Clark rendered her part in her usual
effective style.
Troy Anderson was Christoper
Christ bearer or CARRIER and acted
as the conductor (or bearer) of the
different personifed officers Of the
Book of Common Prayer. He ush-
cred these personified officers of the
PRAYER Book into the presence of
Mother Church and the Little Pill
grims, where each Office in turn IN
structed the Pilgrims as to its histo-
ry, use and meaning.
The symbolism was carried out IN
minute detail, the ratification, pre-
face, calendar and all, being visibly
put before the audience.
When the entire book was COM
pletely "bodied FORTH Messrs. Troy
and Douglass Anderson, represent
inc Edward VI, sometime King in
mcrria England,' who collected,
correlated and arranged the English
PRAYER Book, bound the parts all Sc
curely together by means of broad
red bands, and presented the bound
hook to the Little Pilgrims from
the Land of Darkness.
There were over fifty in the cast,
and the play was very quickly got
ten up. In spite Of these two facts
the results obtained did great credit
TO the abilities Of the managers OF
the performance.
The spectacular feature OF the
play should not. go unmentloneo'
The scenic effect was pleasing IN the
extreme to the artistic eye, while
well trained choir, which sang pc
tween the entrances of the various
characters added much to deilgh'
the ear.

HOW TO MAKE SOUP
STIMULATING DISH SHOULD PRE-.
cEDE ALL DINNERS.
Freshest Meat Should Be Used and
With a Reasonable Amount Of
Care the Result VIII Be
Satisfying.

Soup is the prelude OF the dinner.
II is light, healthy. stimulating food
that gently prepares the diner for
heavier food 10 come.
The earliest mention OF soup that
occurs 10 me Is the dish Of pottags
for which Esau sold his birthright.
There can be little doubt that Re
becca was a fine Cook. for we know
how she made the tempting dish for
which he gave his inheritance. Ten.
der pieces OF fresh-killed kid were
seethed in milk and seasoned with
herbs and thickened with meal. This
makes most excellent stew that even
these enlightened days have not I'm.
proved upon.
Indeed, there are but two kinds OF
soup, thick and thin, or II It please
you better, fat and lean. The thick.
fat soups comprise bisques, cream
soups, purees and mixed soups. The
thin soups, or soup maigres," as the
French designate them, are consomme
or bouillon and clarified broths.
When making soup use the freshest
and cut the meat in small pieces. Put
to cook in cold. sailed water. This
permits the albumen to dissolve be
fore the water commences to boil.
This albumen and gelatin rises to the
top Of the soup kettle, but should not
be skinned off, as much Of 1t will be
assimilated in the process OF cooking
and 1t contains the richest juices OF
the meat. After the contents OF the
soup kettle have commenced boiling
briskly, season and add the vegetables
and herbs. Keep 1t boiling slowly and
continuously. Thirty minutes to each
pound Of meat is the usual time al.
lowed, but longer cooking Is some.
times necessary. Bisques are the
richest and most satisfying Of all
soups. They originated in 1900 and
1850. and these ancient ones differed
greatly from the modern style, which
is only a vegetable coup enriched with
cream and well thickened. The orlgi-
nal bisques well deserve to be resur.
rected.--Henrietta d. Grauel.
