Abbott, general merchant, Dandnong an i North Mirboo, " there is nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is the one medicine that I always keep in my home, so as to hare convenient to give any of the children who show symptoms of a cough or cold. The lenger I use it so does my faith increase as to its efficacy. The people of Dandenong think a great deal of Chamberlain's C ugh Remedy, and their comments are always nattering." For sale by L.

A feminine convert to hatlessness strode through Willis Street, Wellington, recently, says the' Evening Post.' She had the swinging gait, the rapid pace, the straight-ahead look which characterises male members of the hatless brigade here. Whether the bare-headed ones are anxious to avoid the stares of the vulgar or whether the absence of head gear makes them lightfooted, they certainly do not loiter on the footpath; they keep straight on, glancing neither to the right or left, and stop at nothing. The girl whose tresses were unadulterated with feather, rur, or flower, marched proudly on, not deigning to notice the wonder that peeped from the eyes of the populace. Her hair was plainly, neatly caught up into a modest dome at the back, with a comb to steady the structure, but never a ribbon to mar the general effect. Feminity glanced rather pityingly at the sister who had so light-heartedly sacrificed the treasure which is supposed by man to be woman's dearest one—the hat of many colours—but the fair hatless one did not seem to heed the opinions of her critics.
