WOMAN AND MAN,
SHE ALMS AT DISTINCTION AND HE AT EXTINCTION.
It is a familiar female taunt that men are all alike, yet the women would not have it otherwise.
Mr. Jones is annoyed if her husband wear a hat, which is different from the hats that other men are wearing, "I wouldn't be seen walking down the street with you,' the declares. What will people think of you?"

At all costs. Mr. Jones must be orthodox in his appearance from head to foot. "There must be no hint of eccentricity, no suspicion of any desire to be in a class apart.",
But if it should happen that M, Joues discovers another woman wearing a hat like her own she nearly boils over with indignation. "I will never wear it again,” she announces, "It is preposterous!"

POSERS.
John Drinkwater
puts these words into the mouth of Oliver Crom- well. Here is a great maxim that the world needs to learn, and particularly that the democratic world needs to learn now.
John Drinkwater may drink water or he may drink Haig & Haig Whisky, or, indeed, anything that he wants to drink, and let no man presume to say he shall do otherwise.
There are some things that we must not decide by a majority vote. One of these things is whether or not you, and we, and John Drinkwater shall, or shall not, drink water.
Being free people, we do not need other opinions on this. Our own opinion is all that matters.
HAIG & HAIG are publishing this advertisement throughout thị, world. They have two objectives:--
(1) To stem the tide of democratic tyranny;
(2) To forward their own business interests. They believe that they are sending all over the world the best Whisky that goes from Scotland.

We find it necessary to make this statement because our House was, at one time, user of this battle. After long experience we find that it is not a good battle, It is easily broken, and the sizes frequently vary, to the detriment of the buyers. We discontinued its use in the interests of our customers. We sell the same „ high-class quality Whisky in this bottle. We have one quality only.
