There are degrees Of skill In all pas

that there were specialists In the art
OF blowing soap bubbles. An article
IN the Windsor Magazine by Meredith
Nugent, however shows that some very
pretty and marvellous effects may be
obtained BY the exercise OF care and
patience With soap nnd water.
The first step Is TO make a solu-
tion by rubbing pure CASTLE soap
into a bowl partly filled with water
until lather has been formed. Then
remove every particle OF lather. dip
a clay pipe into the cleared solution
and start to blow bubble.
II you can blow one six inches IN
diameter so that II win hang suspend
ed from the pipe and will allow your
forefinger covered with the solution
to be pushed through into the b,ib-
BILE without breaking. then the mix
ture 10 ready for use.
Six bubbles may be blown, one In
side the other This IL performed by
dipping the end OF q straw in the
soapy water and after resting the wet
end upon an inverted plate or sheet
Of glass, which should have been pre-
viously wet with the solution. blow
bubble six inches Ia diameter.
Then dip the straw into the solution
again, carefully thrust II through into
the centor os this first bubble aud
blow another. Continue IN this man
near until all The bubbles are In posi-.
ton Great care must be taken that
the straw ls thoroughly wot with the
solution for fully half Ia length before
