She had a sister Elsie and two brothers: C. Weare and Ralph. Her family traced its roots back to the Mayflower through her paternal grandparents, Enoch James and Angeline Shaw Mower Howlett. Her maternal grandparents were Theodore and Elsie Jane Perkins Weare. Howlett attended the Cambridge public schools and took courses at Radcliffe College (1918-1919), Brown University extension program (1924), and elsewhere, including the study of Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, Hindustani, Russian, and Polish during her travels abroad. From 1920 to 1923 she traveled around the world, working as a hostess at the Los Angeles Military Academy, teaching western etiquette classes in Hawaii and the Philippines, writing as a free-lance journalist, and lecturing about her travels. Returning home, she worked for the Pung Chow Company in New York City promoting the game of mah jong (1923-1924), and for the R.H. White Company in Boston, Massachusetts, as editor of The White Star, the store's magazine. Between 1928 and 1933 she continued her worldwide travels and lectures on international current events, good will among nations, etc., including radio broadcasts from WCAH in Columbus, Ohio.
