I called on Helen Hopekirk (Wilson) in the morning, but saw too much of her husband. Mrs. Gardner took us to the Art Museum in the afternoon, rushing us through, and ending up by getting the Curator, Chalfin, to show us a scroll with the sack of a town on it, from about 1250. It is very fine, particularly the last episode of the solitary general as a black horse heading the triumphal procession, but it is not at all so great as the early Chinese things. For her, however, it is the best thing in the Museum, and there’s an end on it. Wonderful woman! — or, as she says Gerricke calls her, “Genius woman” (She loves to tell stories redounding to her own credit.) In the evening we went to the opening of the Jordan Hall at the new Conservatory building.
