Birth
EIGHT days after a son had been born to Tongan Crown Prince Tugi and Princess Mata’aho Tugi, on May 4, a second Royal birth took place in the Kingdom. This was on May 12, when Princess Melenaite, wife of Prince Tuipelehake (John) gave birth to a daughter.
Prince John and Princess Melenaite were married last June at the same time as the Crown Prince and Princess.
Prince Tugi was to have attended the general conference of the Methodist Church, in Australia, in May. He was prevented from coming by his wife’s confinement. The Tongan delegate to the conference was the Rev. J. S.
Faubula.
