LADY'S SHORT PURSE.
MATERIALS.--Purse silk, of any two colours that contrast well, gold
beads, and glass ones of one of the colours. Of the silk that matches
the beads, two skeins will be required, and of the other, four. For
the garniture, a clasp and handsome fringe.
Begin by threading a hank of gold beads on two of the four skeins,
leaving two without any.
With regard to the colours to be selected for this purse, we may be
allowed to suggest a few good contrasts, leaving the choice to the
taste of the worker. A brilliant scarlet looks well with white; brown
with blue; lilac with green, or _vice versa_; and pink with some of
the warmer tints of stone or fawn colour. In all these, the
first-named colour is to be the predominant one, except in the case of
green and lilac, in which either colour may be the principal one. The
immense variety of tints in German beads (nearly three hundred), gives
such a power of choice, that the most artistic taste may be gratified.
For the sake of accuracy in the description, we will select scarlet
and white for this purse. The white beads are to be threaded on the
white silk, and dropped on every stitch where white is named.
With a fine crochet-hook make a chain of 120 stitches with the scarlet
silk, close it into a round, and do one round of single crochet.
2nd row: X 1 gold bead, 18 silk, 1 gold, 18 silk, 2 gold, X 3 times.

HANDSOME PURSE.
MATERIALS.--1 reel of _ombré_ crimson silk, in short shades; 1 of grey
ditto; 3 skeins of rich brown purse twist, 1 skein of white ditto, 2
hanks of steel beads, No. 5; 12 rows of transparent white seed beads,
2 handsome steel slides, and a few steel bugles. The silk must all be
of the finest size, and the work is to be done very tightly.
Begin the purse by threading the steel beads on the brown silk, and
the white on the _ombré_ crimson.
This crimson is used for the rose, and for the three small flowers;
the coloured silk seen through the transparent bead has an extremely
pretty effect; the leaves are entirely in steel beads, as is also the
scroll which ornaments the lower part of the purse. The large flower
close to the rose is done in the grey silk.
