...Marseillaise. Direct from Paris via special Air France Constellation came a dazzling list of French business and fashion leaders. As the Thomas Jefferson High School band blared the Marseillaise, out stepped representatives of Paris' haute couture, Pommery champagne and Lanvin perfumes, plus the mayor of Dijon, which, like Dallas, spells its name with a big "D." Later, the emissaries from still more temples of luxury arrived−Chris-tolfe (silver), Baccarat (crystal), Fare (gloves).
