DUKE AND DUCHESS OF WINDSOR

HOUSE RENTED IN PARIS Cnou otnt owa cobrbspokdxitt.) LONDON, November 7. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor have rented a large private house overlooking the Bois de Boulogne, in Paris. The house, which is No. 24 Boulevard Souchet, is the property of the Comtesse de Sabini. It is being altered and redecorated, and will probably be ready for occupation at the end of the year. The Duke and Duchess spent the latter part of the summer at the Chateau de la Croe, at Cap d’Antibes, on the French Riviera. They have been living at the Hotel Meurice since their return to Paris last month. When the Duke and Duchess of Windsor move into No. 24 Boulevard Souchet. they will, as it were, “christen” it. Though it was built and furnished some six years ago by the Comtesse de Sabini, widow of M. “Tony” Dreyfus, of the wealthy international financial family, she has never lived in it. The house is built in the Louis XVI style in a new and quiet quarter of Paris, which has taken the place of the old ramparts. It has a large garden. The furniture is being taken over from England to supplement the furniture which is already there.
