The Chocolatiere a Big Success

Another Neat Sum Added to the Piano Fund

The chocolatiere at Mrs. Wm. Wagner's Wednesday afternoon was a most brilliant success in every way. ln spite of the extreme cold the attendance was very large and the money proceeds even greater than at the last one. Another neat sum has been added to the fund for a new piano at the Y. M. C. A. rooms. But the financial returns were really the most insignificant part of the success. There was a perfect lack of stiffness and formality, of any show of strained intellectual brilliancy or of fashionable attire. Dress was not noticed. Differences in social station none—were thought of. The contact was heart to heart. The greetings, the expressions of personal interest were genuine, possibly all were surprised to note how naturally the sweet spirit of the Christ comes into our best social gatherings and makes them choice indeed. All present were hopeful that they might be permitted to attend many more of these chocolatieres. The next will be given by Mrs. Wm. Goodyear, on Washington's birthday and will be looked forward to with much anticipation.
