THE CELEBRATED & BEST BPANE MANUFACTURED FROM CHOICEST VIRGI IA LEAF " THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." fTIHE above heading has no reference to _1_ gambling whatever, either in the w&y of playing a quiet game of whist 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 Gibber, in which the heroine apostrophises her teapot; as follows :— " Tea 1 them soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, smile soothing, heart-opea "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-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minda of thousands oE women of New Zealand when they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, j and satisfaction which has been their lot since Subatura Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Stjratura holds its high reputation because its " Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not mads ; 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. NOTICE, —Are you going to build.
