MAORI BENEFACTRESS.
ORPHANAGE AND HOSPITAL, (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, January 20. The Te Akarana Maori Association will shortly pay honour to Princess Te Puea, who has done so much at her pa at- Ngaruawahia for the betterment of Waikato people. Members of the ciation propose to pay the chieftainess a visit at her Ngaruawahia home when she returns from her tour of the East Coast districts. Princess Te Puea has been raising funds m aid of the orphanage she maintains and also for the erection of a cottage hospital at Ngaruawahia similar to that which _ she established at , Tuakau. Association members last evening resolved .that they should wait upon the Princess and ascertain in what ways they could assist her social endeavours on behalf of her people. Princess Te Tuea has declined all Government assistance in connection with her work. Of a singularly independent frame of mind, she organises concert parties and tours the North Island seeking financial support from the Maoris themselves. The East Coast tour is reported to have resulted' in £SOO being subscribed.
