"The Pagoda of Flowers" is a Burmese story in song. Previous to the events explained by the lyrics, Oomala, a young Burman, the betrothed of Ma Noo, filled with religious fervor, and in his heart resolved to become a Poongyl (Buddhist Priest), has bidden Ma Noo a sudden, strange, farewell, that only half reve-aled his full Intention. The marriage day passes. OOmala neither comes to claim his bride, nor holds communication i the outer world. Deserted, desperate, xinwilllng to accept the rumored truth, Ma Noo sets forth on a pilgrimage, praying at every holy shrine that her beloved may be restored to her.

IN SACRED COURTS. The action of the ttory as told in The Pagoda of Flowers" passes upon the crowded steps, and afterwards In the sacred courts oC what Is intended to represent the famous Shwe Dagon Pagoda In Rangoon. It morning and the people come, clad in gay silks, to offer prayers before the many effigies of the Buddha, and. later, depart to celebrate with dance and song a merry holiday. The happiness of Ma Mee the little flower girl, and the songs sung by her and Chit Maung, her boy lover, are in contrast to the despairing notes of Ma 'Noo, in whose secret heart there i gers little hope of answer to her long and oft-said prayers.

But OOrnain is really close at hand, for he has become one of the many priests of the Pagoda, and later, to the shrines, all but deserted, he cornea alone to brood and meditate. Ma Noo, who has remained in the sacred precincts since early discovers nor beloved where he worships. Blind In her happiness at finding him again, she falls at first to grasp tho cruel truth. She fancies he is but a novice still, and tears of joy well up and dim her eyes. DECISION IRREVOCABLE.

But when he remains Immovable and silent, she brushes bacfc the tears and looks again. Alas! the yellow robes he wears are those of the true priesthood, Oomala Is become a Pyln-Sln, monk for all time! Resolved to end her misery, Ma Noo now bids her love a last farewell and seeks to take her own unhappy life. But In Oomala man is stronger than the priest, and triumphant love at last Is conqueror. Wresting from Ma Noo's hand the swift descending he takes her to his heart and bids her live. United once more, and cloaked in the twilight mist that steals up from the river, the lovers fly together hand In hand to those far distant rice fields in the north, where once they parted by the Star-Flower Tree.
