lhepUDiiCdT "A. F. IcdScu WHCl PARIS, Dec. 7.-The town house of Prince and Princess Joachim Murat, placed at the disposal of President and Mrs. Wilson, during their stay in Paris, at the request of the govern ment, will soon be completely reno vated and ready to receive the Ameri- can chief executive and his wife.
 The Rue de Monceau, in which the house is located, while one of the most fashionable neighborhoods of Paris, contains all sorts of houses. Adjoining the Murat house on the right, is the Ste Marie institution, a large school for children, consisting of many buildings and a playground. Across the street lives a woman artist and a doctor and there are a group of officers and a butcher store. On the corner there is the familiar little French cafe, with a few iron tables and chairs on thei sidewalk in front, where signs announce that wine and beer are for sale.
 Although the Murat mansion is rap idly becoming known as La Maison Blanche de Paris" it is not white, but dull brown tint. The house itself is hidden from the street by stone wall, 10 feet high, in which there are two narrow wooden gates and, in the centre, big double door for vehicles.
 Grounds Are Spacious.
 Inside the gates is a large gravelled space. Here the guard of honor will be stationed. A low ornamental iron fence on the side, away from the school separates the court from the spacious grounds and gardens stretch ing away for half a block, and en- closed by a stone wall giving complete privacy.
 Broad graveIled walks wind through green lawns, under trees of great size. A stroll around the gardens gives a view of elaborate conservatories at the rear of the house. At the rear, also are the servants quarters. the garage and other outbuildings which are | reached by a passageway under the | house at the side nearest the school
 In the house itself an army o1 workmen and servants were busy to- day, cleaning and replacing furniture l paintings, portraits and beautiful marble statuary.
