The gowns worn by Miss

1.-THE Tanning of the Shrew" are
faithful reproductions of old plates
and prints representing exact and
correct copies of the dresses worn
in the period of the play. From an
artistic standpoint they are beauti-
full to the extreme and without a
doubt will prove to be the most ex-
quisite creations seen in Lancaster
this season. The feminine portion
of the audience everywhere she has
played has gone into raptures over
them. Miss Ralph has a regal car
rage and does full justice to her
gowns by carrying them in dashlng
style. The play affords excellent
opportunities to all the ladies of the
company for display of beautiful,
quaint costuming and they have
awaited themselves of that op-
portunity in consequence of which
the play is a series of beautiful
Shakespearean pictures.

The high esteem in watch Mr. Murh
