Bubble Parfiea.

Washington society ladies who are
on the "qni vive for something new

season is over, can invite their guests
to a bubble party. Bubble parties
are all the rage in London, Bubbles
in these London parties are not com.
mon soap bubbles, by no means, other.
wise they would be common and vul-
gar. The bubbles which are blown are
not. as before said, common soap bub-
bles (perish the thought), but bubbles
made of oleate of soda and glycerine,
which preserve the form and character
istics Of soap bubbles, but are tougher,
more long-lived and estbetic than the
common ones. 1t is said that they
will last for days without exploding,
and that they will rebound from the
floor like rubber balls. They may be
filled with the smoke of Havana cigar,
which adds greatly to their beauty,
and as they begin to ascend few notes
from a musical instrument will make
them dance and dangle in IA way that
is truly edifying to people seeking
amusement
Speaking of bubbles, WHY does not
some ambitious American woman
make the start in this country of
appearing at the next Vanderbilt party
adorned with incardescent lamps.
An English lady recently appeared at
ball in Hull radiant with these lamps,
and, of course, created a sensation.
As the battery which supplies he light
cannot conveniently he concealed in the
dress, it is necessary to have a gentle
man properly attired for the occasion
to act as battery bearer. He procures
small musical instrument encased in
box, or even a small hand-organ, in
which the bichromatic battery is con-
cealed, and from which invisible wires
lead to the lady's dress. Here is new
use for the society young man.-Wash-
