last Sunday this month,
July 28th. You know where

will so inform you. Till

Built in 1898, the Compton Heights Water Tower was on the highest point in St. Louis at that time and was surrounded by a lovely manicured park. It remains a monument and tourist attraction to this day.
An invitation! And Lillian, shortened to "Lil" here, has a sister, Kate (in addition to her older sister Anne)! How exciting! The two girls apparently get to go on a Sunday visit to Lillian Moy's home. What is that undecipherable squiggle at the end of the sender's name?
A fashionable gown from 1907
