A spitfire ready to burn up at the drop of the hat—anybody’s, she drives off all suitors tempted by her great dowry. To make matters worse, Baptista has told the world that Katherine must be married before he will consider overtures for the hand of her fair and gentle sister, the beautiful Bianca. Gremio and Hortensio, worshippers before Bianca’s shrine, are at their wits’ end to know how to dispose of the shrewish Katherine, when there comes one, the handsome, cocky and conceited Petruchio. Jestingly they tell him of the charms of the fair Katherine. The dowry clinches the mat' ter. Even when Gremio and Hortensio, in fear and consternation, warn him as to her real self, Petruchio is unchanged. Seeking out the good Bap' tista, Petruchio tells him what a fine sonfindaw he will make and gains the old man’s consent to begin the courtship forthwith. SECOND 26'B —Five Col.

Before Katherine can get well started on one of her tirades, Petruchio has her speechless with his own fireworks. Though it galls her, she agrees to marry him the following Sunday.

Togged out in a get'up that would put a tramp in the Beau Brummel class, he appears astride a truck horse. Katherine sees “red” but Petruchio sees nothing but amusement, as he *Use this heading munches contentedly on a juicy apple. There is consternation everywhere. Petruchio’s friends take him aside and offer to lend him suitable apparel for the occasion. Gadzooks, fumes the bridgegroom, his fair lady is not marrying him for his clothes but for himself.
