MAORI WOMAN’S ESCAPADE

POSING AS “MISS POM ARE.” OPERATIONS IN CHRISTCHURCH. (From Our Own Correspondent.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 8. A Maori woman recently descended upon a suburban hold in . Christchurch. She brought no clothes except those she was wearing, and she announced in impressive tones that she was a daughter of Ihe Hon. Sir Maui Poroaro. Having secured her room she went out, and a little while later a telephone ring came to the hotel, inquiring. “Ts Miss Pomare in?” "No” was the reply. “Well, this is her sister. - ” responded the firs, speaker. “Will you tell her that all her clothes will be down in the morn- “ Miss Pomare” told her tale well. She had a brace of motor cars—a Studebaker and an Overland—and she was employed in her “father’s” Department of Native Affairs (which is not Sir Maui Pomare’s department) at a salary of £29 9d per week. She had been “interpretress ” so to speak, for 15 years, and had been sent to Christchurch to recuperate after a strenuous session. On the strength of her “relationship” to the popular Maori Knight the Christchurch Sun says that '"Alias Pomare” secured a fair amount of credit.. Sir Maui and Lady Pomare have, however, only t-wo children- both voting sons.
