womanhood and wooing. The governing
principle is found in the old saw, If you
want a dog or o m TO like you beat
him or her. katherine and Blanca ere
the daughters ola rich gentleman Of Paduah
named Baptista. Blanca is the conyen-
tional pattern of well behaved, obedient
and insipid young women, but katharine
is a fury. Lucentio and Hortersio, two
proper young gentlemen, love Blanca, but
her father declares that she shall not marry
until her elder sister is provided with q
husband. The lovers are greatly put out
at this unfavorable turn OF events.
About this time Petruchio, with great
wealth, and a will as strong as @ Homelic
demi-god, comes along. he is tired Of
being wooed by women, and concludes
that it would be capital pleasure to WOO an
unwilling maid. Petruchio has also q fer
tile brain. He at once puts the W dis
comforted lovers of Blanca in q position
to 20 on with their wooing, something they
were not brilliant enough to think Of them
selves. He induces them to disguise them
selves as teachers and engage 10 instruct
Blanca. This plot works and Lucentio ia
the successful sutton. Petruchio declares
his intention OF proposing to Katharine.
Her father givas his consent, but the tug
of war is in getting Katharine's consent.
She is furious at his presumption, but he
refuses to accept his dismissal, and obsti-
nately declares that he has been accepted,
and fixes the wedding day. He keeps her
waiting on the bridal morning, arrives late,
indifferently clad, marries her and hustles
her away before the wedding festivities
have scarcely begun. HE subsequently
breaks her temper and wins her affection"
as one critic express it, two extraordinary
things to do certainly, but ell things are
possible in opera, which frequently distin'
guishes itself by getting as far from nature
as fiction can go.
