Visit of King and Queen
PARIS PREPARING United Press Association—Bv Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. PARIS, April 4. An entire wing of the Quai d'Orsay Palace, built in 1845, is being converted into a suite for the British King and Queen during their visit to Paris in June. Practically the only apartment, that will not be changed will be the gallery, where the Peace Conference was held in 1919.
The Republic is ransacking its earlier glories for furniture. The King will sleep in one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s beds, and one of Marie Antoinette’s is being brought from Versailles for the Queen.
