£ B—12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, FLYSEE PALACE BENG REPAIRED Return of President and Mme. Lebrun From Ram- bouillet Expected. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September White House, the Elysee Palace, being repaired and embellished in an- ticipation of the forthcoming return of President and Mme. Albert Lebrun from the Chateau of Rambouillet. The tiled roofing is being done over with extreme care, to guard against the blowing away of separate pieces during Winter storms. The “court of honor,” through which one gains access to the front door, and in which foreign chiefs of state and diplomats are received with military honors, is in process of rebeautification, old and worn stones being replaced by new ones. On the inside, important repairs to the ceilings of the salons on the first floor have been effected. Priceless old wood panels, disjointed by heat and age, have been repaired, and the paint- ing and gilding. more than a century old, have been renewed. The work was to have been under- taken much earlier, but the tragic death of the late President Doumer on May 7, the moving out of Mme. Doumer and 29 —France's her family, and the installation of the | Lebrun seriously delayed it. The government architects, charged with Xeeping the “national palaces” in good condition, are supervising it. The Elysee was once the residence of ‘Mme. de Pompadour. It was there that Napoleon I signed his final abdication after Waterloo, and it was previously taken over by the Czar Alexander I in 1814, when the allies of those days forced the little corporal into exile. Wellington lived there for a_time after 1815, later acquiring the hand- some residence farther down the Rue Du Faubourg S. Honore, which to this day houses the British embassy. Napoleon IIT, while still the “prince president,” made his official home until his removal to the Tuilleries. It was built in 1718 by the famous architect Molet, but considerabley re- modeled in 1805.
