It looks as though Eva did some travelling around Massachusetts in the summer of 1924.

S.S.COLUMBUS, Mid-Ocean
Dear Eva;
I wonder if you will be back before we are moved! Suppose you will be just where you were last year! Soon as we are settled we must see you, and show you all our cards etc. and tell our adventures, and hear about your summer. Love to Alma! Hope you are all well, and have enjoyed your summer.
Love from,
Mabel

1.
About the postcard's picture: I couldn't find anything about the Empress Augusta Victoria Memorial Gardens. Perhaps they are no longer in existence. I did watch a couple of minutes of Reuters footage on YouTube of her funeral in 1921. She was Kaiser Wilhelm II's wife.
2.
The addresses on the postcard are helpful. So Eva went to see Alma in South Hadley, and then went to visit Ethel Jackson in Wakefield. The handwriting in the forwarding address looks like Alma's handwriting to me, so Alma would be back in South Hadley after her summer excursions, ready for another year of teaching at Mount Holyoke.

Mabel and Lil lived together in Philadelphia, and apparently they were moving, but Eva, also in Philadelphia during the school year, was not.
