In place; ropes Of pearls, rubles and
emeralds; numberless rings, bracelets
and anklets for women. There is a
wonderful diamond necklace called
the Garland Of Delight" the largest
stone of which measures one and one
quarter inches In diameter.
The Garland Of Delight has
blazed an imperishable trail through
the history of eastern romance, which
is ever akin to tragedy. 1t was worn
secretly for brief span by Gu Saifa,
the "White Rose" beautiful dancing
girl whose story bears repeating. She
was the mistress of Dara, who was Il
brother of Emperor Aurangzeb, the
last of the four great MOguls. Dara
and Aurangzeb, sons of Shah Jahan,
were both ambitious to sit on the Pea
cock throne. But Aurangzeb, nick
named the "White Snake" because he
was born with a curlously white skin,
after he had removed all obstacles in
Guiding his brother managed eventual
ly to coil himself on the cushions Of
the Peacock throne. After Daras death
the emperor seized his brothers pos
sessions, including the Garland Of
Delight" and Gul Saffa. She was said
10 have In her veins blood Of the Hin
du Rajputs, the race long noted for
the beauty and chastity Of Its women.
So, when Aurnngzeb demanded her,
she said she belonged to Dara and
asked on what grounds he claimed
her. The emperor replied that her
long tresses had bound him as In II
net. That night a messenger brought
a package to him. wherein lay coil
upon coil of perfumed hair. Again
the emperor sent back word that 1t
was the moon-like beauty of her face
that had enthralled him. Then the
girl took knife and slashed her face
until 1t was hideous TO look upon. She
wiped the blood from 1t with n cloth
and sent 1t to the emperor, as a sign
that nothing was left of the beauty he
had desired. He never troubled Gul
Safl'a again, who soon died of grief for
her lover
