Either the one who makes the largest bubble
is winner, or the one making the most bubbles in a given time. The
sides or individuals may play in turn.
A POP-CORN PARTY
A pop-corn party, of necessity, like a candy pull, must be held in the
kitchen. This can be decorated for the occasion. Each little guest
brings an apron to be donned before the "popping" begins.
First, shell the corn. Second, take a dipper full of corn and "pop"
it. This popping is done in a pan over a clear fire.
Third, divide into parts, when done.
Fourth, sprinkle some with cochineal, if pink corn is desired.
Fifth, string the pop-corn on threads. A needle is used to do this.
Necklaces, bracelets, and boys' chains may be so made.
Each child receives a handsome cornucopia or box as a receptacle for
his popcorn.
CANDY PULL
Candy ready to pull may be bought at a candy store, or molasses may
be boiled at home until it is ready to pull, when the hands are greased
and the pulling begins. As suggested for a pop-corn party, the kitchen
or dining-room is the best place in which to give a party of this kind.
