...also reads Elle. So does Mme. Charles de Gaulle. So do 800,000 other French women every week. The numbers justify a popular saying: "Si elle lit elle lit Elle (If she reads, she reads Elle)." And so, of course, do all the arbiters, pace setters and proprietors of Parisian haute couture, the people whose very names spell female elegance around the world: Chanel, Givenchy, St. Laurent, Balenciaga, Dior, Courrèges.

Seeing Bernard for the last time at a Parisian cafe, Therese muses Christ-like to the audience, "If only he'd ask, I'd still go with him." Of course Bernard returns momentarily, but only to remind her he had covered the drinks.
