Paris' elegant Galerie Charpentier in the Faubourg-St. Honoré was jammed one day last week. The overflow crowd streamed through the doors and into the street, making the situation so trying that when Pianist Artur Rubinstein pushed his way to the fore, the management was reduced to making a pregnant woman (a non-buyer, no doubt) give up her seat to him.

The Dan'l Webster, a nine-car, $1,500,000 train, powered by low-slung diesel locomotives fore and aft, was noticeably smoother and quieter than standard equipment though it cost only $1,650 per seat v. $2,850 for the conventional type.
