 CHARITY

PURSE.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. THE Charity Purse is made of Sc. and De. crochet ; it is commenced in the middle of the little star in the center. The gold and green leaves are made separately and added afterward ; they are held together at the base by a row of Sc. stitches in black, and at the top by rows De. of blue and gold alternately, after having made nine rows of Sc. crochet underneath the rose ; it is from this you retake the other rows of Sc. crochet until the tenth row of the design, where the upper side stops. This purse has two sides ; the upper containing the rose and terminating in the tenth row, and the under, which, being made in Sc. crochet, the same size as the upper, is continued so as to turn over and form a clasp. This is very easily done by referring to the design as well as description. To finish it, line it with silk, taking care to hide the seams by putting a fancy cord over them, of which also the strings are made. The purse is fastened by the cord looped over a gold button.
