From the bright orchards of Bijbehara they carry their golden fruit down Jhelum River to the bazaars of Srinagar. Ashoo, in her lover’s absence, is given in marriage by her eager, parents to a rich silversmith, dwelling in the city. The silks and the gay trinkets which the bridegroom sends to deck his bride‘ blind Ashoo to her fate, a loveless marriage. Soubhana, returning unexpectedly to Srinagar a few hours later, learns what has taken place. Mad with jealousy he waits the fall of night that he may seek revenge. Ashoo looks out upon the river from her lattice, but her heart is full of sorrow and despair. But down the waterway a boat is drifting-a well loved voice is floating o’er the river. Back to the lotus fields Soubhana bears her-for love and freedom of all things are best. Back where the bulbuls sing amongst the rose-where the blue kingfisher flits over J helum), © .

Chorus PESCHSHSHSOSOOHSCASIWIPSS SSH OFOFLOGLOFGSS2SBEGR080 Mrs. Murray (Synopsis: Baptista, a rich merchant. of Padua, has two daughters, Katharina, the elder, is a strong-willed lady, whose fiery temper has earned her the title of "The Shrew." _ Bianca, the younger, is of a gentle disposition, and has many suitors for her hand. The father, however, has decided that, until the elder sister is suited with a husband, the younger must remain single, Bianca’s suitors are in despair, when they discover in Padua a visitor from Verona in the person of Petruchio, who. has come to the city with the avowed intention of seeking a wife who shall be both handsome and rich. His friends speedily make known to him the circumstances cf their case, and Petru- ‘ chio, 2 man of high spirit, and a humorist of the first water, when satisfied that Katharina possessed the qualifications he was looking for in a bride, expresses himself quite Willing to marry her, and to trust to his methods to change ber from termagent shrew into a meek and manageable wife. Petruchio presents his credentials to Baptista, and secures his best wishes for his success with Katharina, to whom he is speedily introduced. A stormy interview follows, in which Katharina is fairly overborne by the boisterousness and sarcasms of Petruchio.’ He gives her no time to: protest, and, assuring her father that Katharina has ‘received him in the kindest way possible, and has promised’ to marry him on the following Sunday, he departs to Venice to procure finery for the wedding. On Sunday the wedding guests are assembled, but there is no sign of the bridegroom, and Katharina ,weeps from vexation at the slight put upon her. At last, however, Petruchio appears, but in strangely disordered attire, and, paying no heed to the expostulations of the company, he ‘insists upon the wedding ceremony being performed at once, Baptista has provided a sumptuous feast, but Petru-

chio, on -his return from church, declares his intention of carrying his wife home immediately, and no. remonstrance will make him change his purpose. .Katharina’s entreaties. are rejected, and the bride and bridegroom leave. for home. After a weary journey, during .which Katharina hears nothing but the wild ravings of Petruchio at his servants and horses, they arrive at» his:house. . She is welcomed to her home, but Petruchio resotves that she shall have neither food nor rest that night, and by pretending to find fault . with every dish, and: ordering their instant removal, he effects his purpose of sending her, weary. and supperless, to’ bed... The same line is’ pursued by Petruchio the next day, and not until he has brought her proud spirit to such subjection that she dare not remember that there is such a word as contradiction, will he permit her to visit her father’s house to join the company assembled there to celebrate the wedding of Bianca. The conviction is brought home to Katharina that resistgsnee will serve no purpose. She is convinced of her past folly, and to the wonder of ali present at Bianca’s wedding feast, speaks.as eloquently in praise of the wifely. duty of obedience as she had practised it implicitly in a ready submission te Petruchio’s will.)
