Then at the second table each country tried to see who could throw the most bubbles from a pipe dipped only once in the suds.

At the third table each country fought to lodge the bubble on the flag in the center of the table.

A drum was used instead of a bell to make the progressions.

America won, and her representatives received little drums filled with candy, with a tiny American flag stuck in each.

The little supper that followed, in deference to the day had its decorations all of a patriotic nature. On the white cloth were strips of red, white and blue bunting, which extended the length of the table. In the center was a bowl appropriately filled with red clover, white daisies and blue bachelor-buttons. At the left of each plate stood a huge giant cracker, with a bunch of firecrackers tied on one side with blue and white ribbon; the cracker was filled half-way with bonbons, and a paper napkin with flag ornaments was stuck in it. As far as possible the dishes were all in red, white and blue. Red, white and blue ribbons were used to tie the sandwiches. The cream was in little red, white and blue drums, with a little soldier with tiny drumsticks tied to one side, and with the cream novel little firecracker cakes were served, which were made in this manner: A thin spongecake was cut while hot into pieces about six by four inches, the sides were pinched together forming big firecracker shapes; these were covered with an icing tinted a deep pink, and for fuses, twine two inches in length was coated with the icing and placed in each cracker.

It might be well to add that a tablespoonful of glycerine and half a teaspoonful of sugar were added to the bowls of soapy water, which gave size, beauty and durability to the bubbles. Lillie Martin.
