On Nov. 11th .we published an
article in the Post concerning Tou
omaruanu, the heir-apjuuunt to tlie
Maori throne. Nie had advertised
for a white husband for six months
and up to that time she had no ap
plicant. .
'' Tonomaroanu prefers to be called
Man", 'because in all except her race
khe is distinctively English. She is
the daughter of Paul, , kinir of the
Maorij-and is the most beautiful
dusky woman' that ever lived. In
her own country -New Zealand
the aborigines come .miles to get a
glimpse of her face, and visitors to
Australia are urged to take in New
