10 January 1914; Saturday

Finished about 2.15. Went up town in the afternoon. Shaved and went to Trinity1 and heard a good lecture on the Buddha. Met Willie and went to Memorial Hall2 and heard Mr Barnard† recite. He was not so good as before. Had walk round town last thing and looked closely at shops and considered dressing of windows.
