The Thomas Nelson Page house has

Pages were in Italy, where Mr.. Page
was United States Ambassador during
most OF tho Wilson regime, they rented

Count Macchi di Ceilerc. who used It
as his family residence primarily, but
also during the war congestion had some
OF the embassy offices there. The old

lady sold to tho Italian Government for
use as an embassy. was used almost
entirely for special official Italian acttvf-

close OF the war. or rather about a year
after It had closed. and the peace con-
