THE PARIS ROTHsCHILDs.
The Mansions They Occupy and
Their History.

From GaliondnGs Messenger, of Paris.
On the occasion of the death of the
Baroness James de Rothschild. widow of
Baron james, the founder of the Paris
house, "Chapelle," the chronlqueur of
the Sport, gives some interesting details
of this branch Of che famous family of
bankers:
Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, eldest
son OF Baroness James, resides with his
wife, who is the daughter of Baron Lionel,
Of London, in the splendid Hotel Talley-
rand, at the corner of the Rue st. Floren-
tin and Place de la Concorde, which was
the residence Of the Emperor Alexander
in 1915. The eldest daughter of Baron
Alphonse, Mile. Bettina, married her
cousin, Baron Albert de Rothschild. Of
Vienna; the second, Mile. Juliette, has
become Nine. Maurice Ephrussi. This
young couple purchased in the Rue de
Berry the hotel occupied successfully Dy
the beautiful Countess de VilIeneuve-
Albuquerque during her short stay in
Paris, and by the Duke de Nemours be-
fore he went to reside in the Avenue du
Bots de Boulogne.
Baron Gustave, her second son. and the
Baroness, nee Anspaoh, live in the Ave-
nue. Marigny, in the sumptuous residence
recently rebuilt by them on ground de-
pending on the former mansion of the
finanoer Debrousse. All Parisians must
remember the fairy.like aspect OF that
vast garden. By marvels OF transplanta-
ton superb groves Of shady trees were
improvised in few months. The salon
OF the Baroness Gustave was the first in
which Rose Caron was heard. Her eldest
daughter married Mr.. Lambert, who rep
resents the house of Rothschild in Brus-
sells, but the young couple pass a great
part of the year in Paris. Fer younger
daughter, Mile. Aline de Rothschild,
came out in society last year, and was
remarked for her grace and beauty.
The third son of the Baroness James,
Baron Edmond. who married one Of his
cousins, purchased three years back the
celebrated Hotel Pontalba, the garden of
which. looking on the Avenue Gabriel, is
one OF the finest in Paris. The house that
formerly stood in the grounds was leveled
to the ground and In its place has been
raised a splendid edifce Ia which have
been assembled artistic treasures and all
the relinements Of modern comfort. Only
a few intimate friends nave yet peue-
trated into the interior, and the inaugu-
ration was to have taken place in the
coming season. But alas!
Baroness Nathaniel, daughter OF Baron
James, possesses in the Faubourg st.
Hon0re, at q lew steps from Inc residence
OF her brother, the magnificent hotel az
Joining that occupied 80 long by the
Marachale Suchet, Duchess d'Albuiera,
and which has been entirely rebuilt by
the present owner, Count Pillet-Will.
The Baroness Nathaniel, who is one OF
our most talented aquarellists, lives there
in almost absolute retirement with her
sop. Baron Arthur, whose steam yacht
Eros is one OF the finest vessels OF the
kind afloat. She passes part OF the year
on her domain OF the Abbey OF Vaux-de-
Cernay. Her daughter.in-law, the Baro-
ness James Edouard, has scarcely lett her
residence la the Avenue de Friedland
since the death OF her husband.
The Baroness Solomon, widow OF the
fourth son OF the Baroness James, ia pro-
prietor of the vast mansion in the Rue
Berryer which formerly belonged to the
financler, Beaujon. Her only daughter,
Mile. Helene, resembles her for her grace
and charity.
Alone of all the Rothschilds in Paris
Baron Adolphe. who belongs to the Ma
poleon branch, is not a descendant of the
Baroness James. His residence In the
Rue Monceau is. therefore. the only one
that may be open TO society next season.
