Two Girls Visit Gaslight Square By Marsha Byart Grade 8, Bennett One Saturday afternoon we went to St. Louis. We took Becky Stray -er with us. After dinner we went to Gaslight Square. It looked like an old time town, except for some of the new modern banks.

There were old-time movies from which you could hear the band play after the movie was over. At most of the clubs you could hear the band playing. Some of the hotels were old-fashioned. Most of the stores had beautiful furniture. and la the other stores were beautiful clothes, dishes and other things.

There was one place where they gave grandpa (Russel Alfred) a gold watch, because he was leav ing St. Louis and moving to Mattoon. Becky and I enjoyed our visit to Gaslight Square so much that we would like to go back there again some time.
