...wears in Chinese cities every other year since 1979. Last week, in a sort of cultural exchange with himself, Cardin, 63, brought nine Chinese models to show off his new fall and winter couture in Paris. Ages 18 to 23, they have been the hit of "collections week," though cattier observers noted one or two faux pas on the runway. One Chinese model, in a delightful reverse on Oriental-Occidental clichés, even smiled broadly as she posed, a breach of scrutability that no Western model would ever allow...
...long forgotten, loyally attended. She exhibited fairly often, was always listed in catalogues as a pupil of David. But had she even known the violinist named Bruni? For the answer to that, Wildenstein went to the diaries of a certain Mme. Moitte, one of Mme. Davin's cattier friends. On Feb. 3, 1806, Mme. Moitte went to Mme. Davin's for dinner.

Murdoch of gold & copper producing Noranda; Felicien Cattier of Africa's Katanga; Robert Crooks Stanley of Canada's International Nickel, in line for the first time; Sir Auckland Geddes of Rio Tinto and Rhokana, one-time British Ambassador at Washington. A stony silence greeted Dr. Sussman's statements that Roan's production capacity...
When Katanga's Cattier sailed, he left behind him his two inseparable agents, Messrs. Fernand Pisart and Camille Gutt. When they saw the conference getting no place they announced they had booked reservations for Europe. When it became clear that Director Storke would accede to nothing, Messrs. Pisart & Gutt sailed and the conference was officially ended, all copper companies were free to grab for all they could. Roan's Storke remained alone on the battlefield, told the U. S. Press his company was not alone to blame...
