ME. too" puffed James as his big
bubble few up into the. air and
bounced dangerously against the cell
ing"
Il think spool soap bubbles are lots
OF fun. don't you James?" asked Belle.
But James was having too good time
to answer such foolish question.
OF course blowing bubbles is fun
and blowing them through a spool is
just twice as much fun as any other
way. In the first place. you do mo-
have to put on rubbers and raincoat
and carry an umbrella down to the
corner in all the wet to buy a pipe at
the little store. Every household har-
bors spools. and a spool soap bubble
party can be arranged in less time
than 1t takes to tell. Try it for your
self and see. But be careful-be sure
you blow the bubble out of the spool
and not into 1t. The spool is not as
long as the stem of pipe and even a
little intake of breath will give you a
mouthful Of soap suds and you know
that is not very pleasant sensation.
Once you have produced a bubble and
tried this method you will Immediately
become so expert bubble maker that
you will never want to blow bubbles
in any other way.

And mother. looking very mysterious
walked out Of the room.
!. In . few minutes two. smiling and
eager children called mother back into
the nursery. They looked expectantly
to see what she would bring with
which they could blow bubbles. and
were a tribe disappointed to see that
she carried nothing but her sewing
and her spool box. Seeing their crest
fallen faces. she opened the box and
took out two empty spools from which
the paper at either end had been torn.
These are fairy pipes" she said. dip
one end into the bowl of soap suds and
blow through the hole In the other end
and see what happens"
Into the bowls were dipped the
spools and then how the children did
blow. No pouts nor frowns could re-
main on those pulled out cheeks. They
had to stop their blowing to laugh 1t
each other. ~ drst the wooden spool

The soap suds. Of course" said
James.
But how" persisted Belle, land

not answer that. and when he saw that
mother was getting ready to explain
the mystery of the bubble to his little
sister. he put down his spool and pre-
pared to listen.
The soap suds hold the particles OF
the water together and give substance
