(OtherW1Se known as Jne rat
ent Office) Is working overtime Its OUT
nut has never been so great as at pres
emf. and some of the novelties 1t Is
turning out IN the way Of brain products
are both valuable and interesting.
Take for example the bubble hat,
which Is so new that it has not yet had
a chance to become fashionable, In the
TOP of this article OF feminine headgetI
(which may be made of any pattern that
Is most becOming) Is placed cup-shapeG
receptacle partly filled with a soap ana
water solUtiOn-the very stuff, IN IaeI'
for making soap-bubbles-
The cup Is connected by concealed r1D-
ber tube with a little metal cylinder
which IS conveniently hidden IN some
mart of the dress. The cylinder contains
hydrogen gas under pressure A push
with the thmb on a piston opens FalNe
and allows some of the gas TO escape
through the tube. with the result thaJ
soap bubble forms IN the cup and rises
info the air. When desired. a series OF
bubbles can be made and liberated III
this way in rapid succession
The effect. of course. IS very sJrlhliS-
On the street it might, perhaps, be too
much so. But while restricting MN
self in this regard, the inventor, Al
don 7 NcNurtv. of South Beach, conn.,
SUGGESTS that this contrivance might ap-
nroDristelv be utilized for the stage: Fo-
instance there might be a chorus OF preI'
~ Girls wearing such hats. from WHICH
soap bubbles would rise in flocks-
