Hubble-Bubble

Mustafa Kemal Pasha has taken the fez off Turkey's head, put on a hat instead; but even Dictator Kemal has not put a briar pipe in Turkey's mouth. Turks still smoke (at home or in coffee houses) the romantic, long-tubed, bubble-bubbling nargile.

In Istanbul last week the Turkish Chamber of Commerce received an order for "a hubble-bubble encrusted with pearls and diamonds" from the Berlin Chamber of Commerce.

Berlin has not gone hubble-bubble. Stiffly the B. C. C.'s corresponding secretary explained that he was referring to the T. C. C. "an order for a hubble-bubble received from a wealthy American who lives on Rhode Island."

Flattered by this unusual U. S. order, the Turkish Chamber of Commerce sensed a possible U. S. trend toward the nargile, announced last week that not only can a pearl and diamond encrusted hubble-bubble be supplied by special order but that all kinds of hubble-bubbles can be had from Turkey in styles and prices to fit every U. S. taste and purse.

Advantage of a hubble-bubble: the smoke is cooled, filtered and (if desired) perfumed by being sucked through plain (or perfumed) water.

Disadvantage: it takes determination and an aptitude for strong sucking really to enjoy hubble-bubbling.
