A Woman on the Sydney Strike. Writing of the strike, in. Sydney, a Now Zealanil lady, who is a. graduate on the. education staff in Now South ■Wales, says: "I suppose, you have seen what an exciting' time wo are. having over here. Wo havo neither trains nor trams, eo of course business is largely dung up, as Hie people can't get in from tlio suburbs. Only four trains went to Tttc city from our district yesterday, and the funny part was that nobody knew they were to be 'oft', J and tlio stations were crowded with people waiting to go to business. Some of our girls nearly got killed getting off the train in tlio lMornins —the men lushed it. 'finally they had to scramble down on tlio oll'sido of the train. Ono train alono carried 2000 people. They were stuck all over it. even biting on top. Tho inspectors drove the trains, and were greeted with ringing cheers at each sta'fon as they pulled up. I had to lnugli at one train that, came through her<\ 'I ho sioknr was a i'at old man of 70 years, long since retired, and was dressed in a neat black suit, and a, stand-up eoUar.

His job was made all the more difficult by the fact that men were sitting on liis heaps nf coal, and le. had to dig under them for each shovelful. As far ns we aro concerned at school, our girls walked from a radius of seven mile? all round, but the gilt was off tho gingerbread when ther found only four teachers at school, and were sent homo at 1 p.m., with instructions to walk back over the seven miles and see that they got home bt-foro dark. Tho other three teachers set out to walk to Sydney, nearly eight miles. This mowing' none of them turned up. but two others came out by private motor. T had the school all on my own at first, and classes in four rooms, walking over themselves, being rendered quite uselftN in the discipline lino by a bad cold, which left me minus a voice.

Superfluous Hair is one of the most distressing blemishes with which women are afflicted, and hitherto there has been no permanent cure. Electrolysis invariably leaves the face badly marked, even more disfiguring than the hair, and depilatories are worse than useless, for they only burn the hair off, and cause it to grow out doubly strong. "KULDAH" is a medical formula, which has no equal for destroying the roots of the hairs; it is quite unlike any other superfluous hair remedy, and it behoves every woman so afflicted to givo "KULDAH" a trial. It leaves no traco of anything having been applied, and is a marvellous cure, as thousands of satisfied users have proved; price, 6s. 6d., in plain sealed wrapper, from G. Mee, Chemist, Lambton Quay, Wellington (if posted 3d.
