Editor Herald: -" Believing: that some of our friends in Provo may be interested In whatwe are doing in this land half -way around the world, I am writing them a letter from the verandah of a palatial hotel where we are staying' for the present. As I look out over the dry plain to thf south I am reminded that this land ia even drier than titan Js in dry weather like that described in the copy of the Herald which we received today. Even though the distant landscape land-scape has the appearance of a real desert, the immediate -foreground before me Is one of the most beau-tifql beau-tifql of Persian -gardens and just a few blocks away is the summer palace of the Shah with its many acres of matchless gardens. We are staying at this particular particu-lar hotel just now because it a the most comfortable place to be near enough for my husband to reach his office each day . in the capital city of Teheran- , His chauffeur calls for Mm ,at seven each morning. morn-ing. This leaves me. a long forenoon, fore-noon, to enjoy the beauties of the J area "and the local color of the village which goes under the gen-; "eral name of.- Shimiran - and this particular, area under - Darbaud. . If you could picture Rock can- : yon with summer homes built oh both sides' of the canyon you would have some idea of this place-It place-It is about ten miles from Teheran tut the elevation is fifteen hundred feet higher. The -east side is built up- ; with the . summer homes 'of people " from .Teheran mainly, while a large area of the west side has been developed by the Shah. Jn the center of .many j and DIESET 2j.

Each flower bed fits into the. contour, shap and size of the land. Thi3 point i3 well illustrated by a fine sycamore tree which was .growing near the foot of the hill when the hotel was built. Instead of cutting -it down they made a huge vase, attractively decorated, around it, giving it the appearance of hav ing been planted irritT- . There . are many terraces each one outlined by a low cement fence of artistic .design and at .intervals in these fences are' jardiniers filled with flowering- plants. The main terrace is enhanced with, an at tractive fountain in the ' center which plays from five o'clock un til after midnight. 'Besides the fence surrounding this terrace and the fountain there are many for mal gardens. . In - these gardens are all. the. familiar floweja-grown in Provo. , " At . the side of each ofthe many circular steps leading up to the entrance of the hotel are large green pots filled with flowering red . geraniums which give a. touch of color and balance. v . The building itself Is white trim-: med in tan . with green screen frames. All the rooms are large with high ceilings and - French doors. The floors are all terrazo, except the 'lobby,- which ' is ' hard wood. Beautiful Persian rugs are used throughout. A modern tile bathroom is a part of each" guest room. There are two dining rooms one outside and one - in. Excellent Persian food is served. The menus are "in French and the waiters are Persians which sometimes - com plicates getting just - what you want.;;' , ; . vr X - ' As I sit here on the balcony -I hope you - will see with' me some cf the sights below in " the street.
