TTIHE above heading has no reference to X gambling whatever, either in the w&y of playing a quiet game of 'vhist for penny points and threepence on the rub, or of vvageriag a pair of four-button gloves on the four-oared senior outrigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Gibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot as follows : — " Tea ! thoti soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, smile soothing, heart-open " ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest " moments of my life, let me fall | 11 prostrate.' ! This invocation was somewhat high-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands oE women of New Zealand when they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, and* satisfaction which has been their lot since Sukatora Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Subatuba 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 iv the tea-growing zone. Hence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA. JOHN ORR & CO., agents. NOTICE.— Are you going to build.
