HOLIDAY BUBBLES
Soap bubbles are a constant source of delight
to the small fry no matter what season comes
’round. All mother has to provide are the neces
sary ingredients—soapsuds, a few drops of glycer
ine, some gum arabic to make the bubbles more
elastic, and a clay pipe. For added novelty dur
ing the holiday weeks, add a bit of cranberry
juice to the soap solution for a Kriss Kringle aura.
The bubbles will show bright Christmas red.
Good news for party-givers is an inexpensive
ice bucket guaranteed to keep 60 cubes frozen
for 12 hours. It can easily be kept as clean
as a whistle—for it’s made of washable fiber-
board. Outer covering is gaily patterned, heavy
vinyl plastic which can be sudsed as often as
necessary. Inner lining is fiberglas which can
be kept fresh and sanitary by washing frequently
with a sponge and warm soapsuds. . t j j
