She Walked in Beauty
By: Bernard F. Dick
On 13 September 1903 in Saint-Mandé, an eastern suburb ofParisnamed after a sixth-century saint and located a little more than three miles from the heart of the city, Jeanne Marie Chauchoin, age twenty-six, gave birth to a second child, a daughter. The child was born at home in the Chauchoins’ apartment on 5 rue Armand Carrel (now l’avenue du Général de Gaulle), the same street where the Chauchoins had a pastry shop, La pâtisserie Chauchoin. The Chauchoins already had a son, Charles Auguste, born five years earlier on 21 September 1898. Immediately after his daughter was born, Georges Claude Chauchoin headed over to the parish church, Eglise Catholique Notre-Dame de Saint-Mandé, to arrange for the infant’s baptism. Jeanne and her mother, Marie Augustine Loew, wanted the girl to be christened “Lillie.” It was not an arbitrary choice. [download]
