FOOD FOR A SOUL.
FEAST AT A GRAVE.
A SUMPTUOUS REPAST.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 16,
It is revealed that some Torquay women have been in the habit of providing food for the soul of a departed friend who was buried in a vault at Paignton Cemetery. Recently the vault was sealed up, but the women erected an awning to keep it from the sight of the curious.
The food always consisted of a sumptuous meal of game, joints, fancy cakes and fruits. Flowers were also provided. What happened to the food in the past can only be conjectured.
The friends ol ! the dea# woman have now obtained permission from the Home Office to remove the body elsewhere.
