Speak Here at

.Tack Peacock, Interior decorator,
has returned from T'urope, where he
has hern studying design with Kng
lish and American students in the
New York School of Fine and Ap
plied Arts.
In speaking of his study tour, Mr
Peacock save: "From our headquar
ters in Paris, the Place des Vosges,
we were able to visit In a short time
any of the hundred or more architec
tural monuments we were interested
in. The New York school has an ex
cellent reputation and we were in
vited to a'numher of places of great
interest. The school's list of patrons
Includes, nohility of France and Italy.
"One of our principal exercises was
measuring famous rooms and build
ings, studying their detail furnishings.
Among the places visited for this
purpose was Madam Pu Barry's
apartment at Versailles. Madame
Pompadour's suite, Versailles: Mnrle
Antoinette's house, the Petit Trianon:
Napoleon'll house at Maimaison, and
the Palaces at Complegne and Fo'n
tainhlesw. The I’luny museum and
the I.onvra were also sources of great
inspiration.
"In Ixtmion we were housed tn
Grosvenor Gardens and did consider
able work at South Kensington, and
in the National Tate and Wallace
Art galleries. The otignal archi
tectural drawings by Robert Adam
were made available to the class.
"Florence was our base of opera
tions In Italy, and students were de
lighted with the uniform courtesy ac
corded them in that country. Fre
quently we were 1 he guests at tea
or luncheon of the hostess whose
house we were studying. The wonder
ful preservation of Pompeii presented
an opportunity to study ancient de
tail In a way that was not only very
instructive hut very gratifying.
'"The class spent a few lays in Hol
land. Felgium, Switzerland and north
ern Africa."
Mr. Peacock's practical experience
and previous study enabled him to
secure the schools diploma In 21
months Instead of the three years
usually required.
