This pattern is from a section called “The Work Table” and is on page 135.

There are two different “plain and open” purses in this issue. They use gold and steel beads.

For the first:

It will take five skeins of ponceau silk, one of black, and two of green, to form a purse about nine inches in length.

For the second

Commence with two rows of open crochet, and fine netting silk of a dead gold colour…

It will take three skeins of blue silk¹, two of gold colour, one of black, and one of ponceau. The silk should be fine.

The size crochet hook isn’t mentioned but it would be a steel hook (under 2mm) and the thread specified is fine netting silk. The terminology is going to be closer to modern UK crochet terms but there are differences.
