"THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." THE above heading has no reference to gambling whatever, either in the way o! 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 outiigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Cibber, iv which the heroine apostrophises her teapoh as follows :— " Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and ".venerable liquid ; tbou 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 full " prostrate.' This invocation was somewhat high-flown, | but the same ideas How through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, aud* satisfaction which has been their lot since Sujiatoka Tea whs 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 chauges than any other in the tea-growing zone. Fence the .superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA.
