"THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." THE above heading has no reference to gambling whatever, either in the way of playing a quiet game of -vhist for penny points and threepence on the rub, or of wagering a pair of four-button gloves on the four-oared senior outrigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Cibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follows:—• " Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid; thou female tongue -11 running, smile-soothing, heart-open "ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest "moments of my life, let me fall " prostrate.' This invocation was somewhat high-flowD, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, and satisfaction which has been their lot since StJRATUBA Tea was introduced. The testimony "of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Suratura holds its high reputation because its " Strength," "Flavour," and" "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is not blended with India or China teas ; and the gardens where it is produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone. Hence the superiority and unchanging merit of , SURATURA TEA. JOHN ORR & CO., agents. TYPEWRITING OFFICE Arcade Chambers. ALL CLASSES of Work neatly and promptly executed.
