THE " STUDY " of Beaumont House was constructed on the lines of a Turkish bath. The floor was a mosaic of jacinth, spinel, and sun- stone. The walls, cross-hatched with gold wire cloisons were glittering with inset synthetic stones ... ruby, emerald, garnet, chrysolite, amethyst, topaz ... all containing various portraits of the owner. There were scatter rugs of velvet, and scores of chairs and lounges.
