MRS. HOBSON'S HEARTHRUG.





(Various Dissection Puzzles)
Mrs. Hobson's boy had an accident when playing with the fire, and burnt
two of the corners of a pretty hearthrug. The damaged corners have been
cut away, and it now has the appearance and proportions shown in my

whether we say inches or yards), and each piece cut away measured 12 and
6 on the outside.
