MRS. JOHN BURG TO GIVE THE NEXT

There are a few things in the world which seem to grow better the more often they are put into service. Chocolatieres, as now being conducted by the Women's Auxiliary of Y. M. C. A., belong apparently to this class, for the one given on Saturday last at the home of Mrs. Wm. Goodyear, on S. University avenue, seemed to have been an even more enjoyable event than the preceding ones, excellent as they were. The perfect day with the brightness and vigor of early spring sunshine, the beautiful new house tastily decorated with patriotic emblems and pictures of Martha and George Washington, the ladies and maids who waited upon the company, together with the dignified little doorkeeper attired In appropriate costumes, the memory of great men and their great achievements for the making of a great nation, all combined to inspire within the hearts of nearly 200 ladies present thoughts and feelings that would lift the most heavily burdened high above the wearying humdrum of life and remind them that in themselves as well were elements of true greatness and genuine nobility. Many were present for the first time and like others before them were charmed by the spell of these new social functions. Here was an atmosphere in which social intercourse was free and easy and natural. Special thanks are due all the ladies who in various ways have assisted in making these afternoon receptions so successful. Nearly $50 have been realized towards the purchase of the new piano for the  Y. M. C. A. The next and fourth chocolatiere will be given by Mrs. John Burg, who is to devote all the attractions of her magnificent home on Hill street to the delighting of her guests. The date has been set for Wednesday, March 5, and about 300 invitations will be ssued.
