nant 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.
