The housekeeper who knows how to manipulate a pastry bag and tube can serve many attractive cakes and desserts. The ordinary pastry tube is of tin and comes in a number of sizes from one-quarter of an inch to more than an inch in diameter, and with a plain or serrated edge, the latter being known as a rose-end tube. Confectioners' tubes are much smaller and can be had in a variety of fancy shapes. Bags with which to use these tubes are made of rub- ber cloth, duck or ordinary heavy muslin. For all home use they can be made of closely woven heavy muslin, one yard making four. Cut the material into squares and from each piece make a three-cornered bag or cornucopia, felling the long seam, rounding off and hemming the top. From the pointed end cut off a piece sufficient to allow the tube, when dropped into the bag, to protrude about half of its length. For use, the meringue or other mixture is dropped into the bag and pressed downward toward the point. Careful study of our illustration will show how the bag is held, downward pressure being made from above with one hand, while the other directs the end of the tube in order to fol- low out the design. cJ^^.
