might have been expected that the &C.
caSion Of her wedding would nave
been marked by great festivity. But
such was not the case, and the affair
was a distinct disappointment to those
who thought they had a right to expect
more from the White House family.

sion on Mr.. Kitchens mind, making
the whole experience one that could
never DO wiped out.
1t was In this period that the idea
of building novel in such setting
took root with the author. The in
citing incident is recalled by Mr. Hit
chens as follows:
Il had occasion to agls ono of the
monks who had been there for forty
years. IL he had ever heard of a monk
leaving the monastery. He said he
knew of only one case, that of a monk
who had been in the monastery for
twenty years. He stole away ono
night and was never seen again. Living

and restraint. I found myself won

so many years away from the world,

thing out of the experience.
When 1 left the monastery, I went
into the desert, guided by an Arab
poet, who. in the play. is named
Batouch. One evening. as we stood
gazing across the limitless waste of
sand chance phrase from Batouch
gave me what 1 might call the motif
OF my story. This is the Garden of

Here. then, was the idea; the lead

which the plot must be interviewer.

be gathered from the graphic descrip-

to seize on all the sensations and toys
of life, which he persuades himself
belong to man by right. At the

this mysterious figure. who moves with
shuffiing\ step and speaks haltingly, is
concealed. In the oasis city Of Bent
Mora, he meets woman who has left
tho aristocratic circles of continental
society to seek seclusion in the desert.
Some magnetic harmony OF soul draws
them together. Eventually Boris Is
swept out of himself by the love he
has conceived for Domini and they
marry. The inevitable revelation Of
his infidelity to the church comes some
months later, when they are dwelling
in the desert, living only for each

How this story grew in the mind
of Robert Kitchens from a chance re-
mark let fall by Trappist monk at
the monastery on the border of the

by the author 1t was years ago,

visited the monastery called La Trappe

almost perpetual silence is maintained
