"The charming bon vivant in these photographs, curtsying in a country lane and solemnly dancing a dainty dance, is a fourteen year-old of much polish - Miss Aude Howard. whose French mother, Mrs. Chantel Howard, has given her daughter complete command of French, as well as English, and a taste for the good life."
Costume by Florence Schulman
"Far from finding the early teens an awkward age, she relishes every exploration of her new and growing world. The clothes she selects, with assurance, are, when possible, accompanied with "rather wild shoes," big, round sunglasses and something leather."
Dress - Judy Bee
"Aude Howard, a freshman at Nightingale Bamford School, with plans already made for a future in art or fashion, dresses, with appropriate bonhomie, for the country in a depth of raccoon coat with a camel colored crew sweater pulled long over camel and green checked, bias-cut skirt."
