BUBBLE GAMES.
How to Have n jolly Evening Blow
ing Bubbles Into a Goal.

Probably the liveliest amusement for an
evening party may be enjoyed by means
of a cake of brown soap and number of
common clap pipes. The game should be
played in the dining-room, where a basin
of strong soap suds is placed in the center
of the table. The young. and old folks
as well, are given clay pipes with neat rib
bons attached and an ironing board COW
cred with cloth is rested on the backs of
two chairs of different hight. AT the
lower end of the board two pieces of wood
are fastened so as to stand upright on
either side of the board, forming a goal.
Now the object of the game Is for each
player in turn to dip his pipe in the suds,
blow a bubble drop 1t on the upper end of
the board and carefully blow il forward,
and, if possible, through the goal As it
is very difficult TO drop the bubble on the
board, each one is given three chances,
and. finally, the one who succeeds in
blowing the most bubbles through the
goal is the winner
Novel prizes for the game would be
big. decorated clay pipe, for the winner
and the smallest clay pipe to be bought as
the BOBBY prize. At the end of the game
if a number of persons have made the
same number of goals a further inter
esting bubble contest can be introduced
All should start together TO blow large
bubbles, the one who blows the largest
being the winner of the evening.
The addition of a small amount of
glycerine to the soap suds will make the
games easier, preserving the bubbles to
greater size and strength. Further fun
may be had by two, three or four persons
blowing one large bubble, by placing the
pipes together as the bubbles are being
blown.
