Fig. 6.—Lady holding her skirts high.
Fig. 6a.—Showing pieces fitted for representation of lady holding up her skirts.
The individual in the cocked hat who appears in [Figs. 4] and [4a], is another example of how the pieces are to be put together; similarly the depressed cat in [Figs. 5] and [5a], or the lady in Figs. 6 and 6a, who is holding her skirts up so high as she crosses the street. [Figs. 6b] and [6c] show a gentleman apparently tired of life.
These seven pieces can be so disposed as to make hundreds of figures, giving scope for boundless ingenuity and skill.
A good winter evening competition can be arranged by making several sets of Tangram pieces, and distributing one set to each member of the party. The name of some familiar object should then be announced (for example—horse—cat—washerwoman), two minutes being allowed for construction, and points given to the best Tangram.
