NEW PARIS CASTLE
FOR De CHANBRUNS
They Will Join Other Ameri-
cans in the Field of
Mars.

PARIS. May 26.-Paris is to be beauti-
fed by titled American women. Comtesse
de Chambrun (nee Longworth) is nego
tiating for large tract of land on the
Field Of Mars. where she expects to
erect a magnificent home. She is not
alone in this effort TO enhance the ap.
pearance and the popularity OF this
neighborhood Of the French capital.
One OF the pioneers IN this section is
Princess Ruspoli Cnee Riggs. who has
purchased a large tract OF land on the
site Of the Champs dc Mars. where the
exhibition buildings OF 1900 stood, and
will build a palace there.
1t viii be surrounded by magnificent
gardens. filed with ornamental foun-
tains. and laid out in terraces on the
Italian plan. Several other wealthy
American women who have married
Continental noblemen are planning 10
follow Princess Ruspolrs example, and
it is likely that within a few years the
Champs de Mars quarter Will be the
handsomest in Paris.
Among tle other titled Americans who
are negotiating for land IN the Field of
Mars are Baroness Lepic Cnee Whit
comb. OF California, and MarquIse de
Bretuil, etc.
If Countess Boni de Castellane remains
in France after her divorce she viii most

there she Will have a handsome resi-
dence built. but on a much smaller and
more comfortable scale than the pink,

Terry is also very anxious 10 get land
near Princess RuspOlFs lot In order to
encourage these wealthy purchasers OF
real estate TO put up handsome resi-
dences, the municipal council have
drawn up plans for laying out a mag.

trees are already on their way from the
government nurseries TO be planted In

Several Of these functions have been

at over 10000 crowns, has caused great
CONSERVATION among German collectors,
many OF whom have bought stolen
plates. and several Of them have already
notified the Danish government that
they are not only willing. but anxious,
TO. return the articles in their possession
without any remuneration
1t seems, however, that most OF the
stolen plates have been sold to wealthy
Danes in the United States.
The custodian OF the museum who Is
under arrest has not yet made any con-
fession, and It is said the case against
him Will be dropped because OF his In
fiuential family connections. 1t is also
realized in Denmark that II he did steal

tions valued at nearly $500. 900. 900. anG
