A HE old discussion anent the sanity NY of man who parts his hair in
 the middle has been revived. Ger tain prejudieed reformers who have on divers occasions aired their views in re- gard to parting the hair rush headlong into abuse without stopping to consider whether a man lays his locks equldstant for reasons of vanity or simply because he has bald spot on one side of his head and sees no other way to hide the blemish. save by wearing a wig, the ab- horrence of all honest men in our day and time. Then again one must remem- Der that 1t Is not so much parting the hair In the middle as the man who does Du6es are guilty of this practice. but so are men of recognized mental capacity, and after a careful consideration of the subject it is hard to see what moral or physical damage a man does himself when he parts his hair in the middle in- stead of on the side, although preachers and school teachers have been known to fail of election to desirable positions for no other reason. The hue and cry raised against parting the hair in the middle Is at best mere matter of prejudice If dudes had affected parting their locks on one side and their critics had adopted the other fashion the man who now parts his hair in the middle would not be subject for long-winded diatribes

Imitators of Bakers Chocolate.

There is hardly an article of domestic
use in this country better known or more
familiar to housekeepers than Bakers
Chocolate in blue wrapper with a vel
low label The high reputation ard con-
stantly increasing sales of this article
have led to limitations on q very extensive
scale. To distinguish their product from
these limitations Walter Baker & Co,
Ltd have enclosed their pound pack
ages in a new envelope or case Of stiff
paper, different from any other package.
The color Of the case is the same shade
of deep blue heretofore used on the
Baker packages, and no change has been
made in the color (yellow) and design of
the label. On the outside of the case,
the lame of the manufacturer is promi-
nently printed in white letters On the
back of every package a colored litho-
graph of the trademark, La Belle
Chocolatiere," sometimes called the
Chocolate Girl is printed Vigorous
proceedings will be taken against any one

Twilight Organ Recital.

The first of the Twilight Organ Recitals
to be given by Mr.. Wade r. Brown, at
tracted a large audience to the Edenton
Street NJ. e. church last Monday after
noon at four o'clock Mr.. Brown, as or
ganist, with the assistance of Mrs. Grace
BATHS Brown, mezzo-soprano, and Miss
Charlotte Kendall Hull, violinist, pre-
sented a well contrasted program of eleven
numbers.
Mr.. Brown handled the organ with
skill, producing the varied effects de
manded in his organ solos. His technical
powers are well developed and he plays IN
tricate passages for the pedals with his
feet with seemingly as much ease as if
written for the hands.
Mrs. Browns pure mezzo-soprano voice
gave much pleasure to the audience in
her numbers. Her voice is of fine quality,
is we'll trained and she sings with a rare
degree of sympathy and feeling.
Miss Hull is a violinist of decided tai
ent and she played the Ries Romance
with beautiful effect. She draws a tull
round tone from her violin and her into
nation is at all times iawless.
The recital was a rare treat and those
present will look forward with pleasrr-
able anticipation to the second one which
occurs on the afternoon of March 18th.
