# Riria Smith

Riria Smith (23 July 1935 – 28 November 2012) was a master in traditional Māori weaving from Northland in New Zealand. She was affiliated to the iwi Ngāti Kurī and the hapū Pohutiare of Te Aupōuri.

## Biography

Smith was born in 1935. She lived in Ahipara near Ninety Mile Beach in the north of New Zealand. Smith learnt from her parents and grandparents generations the art of weaving, including collecting and caring for the plants and natural dyes used in traditional Māori textiles. Her mother was a renowned weaver although Smith was the only one of her ten siblings to follow on with it.
Smith was one of eight weavers to be featured in the first international exhibition of contemporary weaving called Amokura o te Maori. Smith's work was exhibited alongside Nora Pikia, Te Aue Davis, Puti Hineaupounamu Rare, Diggeress Te Kanawa, Florrie Berghan, Emily Schuster and Eddie Maxwell. It opened in London and then toured Europe.
Smith has works in the collection of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, as well as in many marae her region of Northland. One of the items at Te Papa is a sail for a waka. A group of Northland weavers studied the only existing historic sail woven by Māori, held in the British Museum, and then went about recreating what they had studied.
Smith's weaving technique tended towards patterning with undyed fibres, using a planned holes (kupenga) and reverse leaf approach. Examples of her work are used by Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research (a New Zealand government research institution) to illustrate the weaving use of the New Zealand plant kuta or sedge (Eleocharis sphacelata).

# Sita Devi (Maharani of Kapurthala)

Princess Sita Devi, Princess Karamjit Singh of Kapurthala (30 September 1915 − 2002), also known as Princess Karam and the Pearl of India, was the wife of Prince Karamjit Singh, a younger son of King Jagatjit Singh I of Kapurthala in Punjab, British India. In 1944, she was awarded the Empire of India Medal for her work in raising funds for Indian soldiers in the Second World War.
She was widely regarded as one of the most glamorous women of her day.

## Early life and education

Sita Devi was born in 1915 to the Hindu Rajput Raja Uday Raj Singh of Kashipur, Uttarakhand.
At age 13, she married Prince Karamjit Singh, a younger son of the Sikh Maharaja Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala in Punjab, British India. Her sister-in-law was Brinda Devi, making Princess Indira Devi her niece. As a devote Hindu, she kept her Nepalese cooks with her in order to produce vegetarian food and special Hindu meals for fasts. At her wish, her husband arranged for her to have lessons in Sanskrit, German, Italian, mathematics, history and Hindu rituals. She subsequently became fluent in five languages.

## Life in Europe

Devi's first trip to Europe was in 1934. In London, an "onlooker" in the Daily Mail wrote that "Princess Karam is pale. In her own country she is considered the most beautiful of the Princesses; they call her the "Rose of India"." That year Cathleen Mann's sketch of her was displayed at the New English Art Club show at the Suffolk Street Galleries. Subsequently, in Paris, the media widely reported on her looks. In 1938 her portrait featured in Oliver Messel's exhibition.
She was a muse for several photographers, including Cecil Beaton and Man Ray. Vogue named her "one of the most beautiful women in the world".
At the turn of the 20th century, Indian princesses were increasingly wearing western garments, whether openly or under purdah. Sita Devi's preferred couturier was Mainbocher, who designed chiffon saris and fur coats for her, and designed the wedding dress for Wallis Simpson's nuptials with the Duke of Windsor.
The couturier Elsa Schiaparelli was so dazzled by Sita Devi that the gowns of the designer’s 1935 collection were constructed like Indian saris. In early 1939, at Lady Mendl's tea in honor of the Hollywood dietitian, Gayelord Hauser, Sita Devi was listed among the twelve most glamorous women in the world.
At the end of the summer in 1939, Devi was a guest of honour at a party hosted by Elsie de Wolfe.

## Death and legacy

Devi died in 2002. Her grandson is the jewellery designer Hanut Singh.

Robert Downie VC, MM (12 January 1894 – 18 April 1968) was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

## World War I

Born on 12 January 1894 in Glasgow, Scotland, he was 22 years old, and a sergeant in the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Dublin Fusiliers, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 23 October 1916 east of Lesboeufs, France, when most of the officers had become casualties, Sergeant Downie, utterly regardless of personal danger and under very heavy fire, organised the attack which had been temporarily checked. At the critical moment he rushed forward shouting "Come on the Dubs!" which had an immediate response and the line rushed forward at this call. Sergeant Downie accounted for several of the enemy and in addition captured a machine-gun, killing the team. Although wounded early in the fight, he remained with his company, giving valuable assistance while the position was being consolidated.
On his homecoming, he arrived at Glasgow Central Station to be met by hundreds of people who carried him shoulder-high to a taxi. Springburn Road was decorated with flags and bunting and lined with hundreds more people, and his achievement was widely reported in the Glasgow press.

## Post World War I

On 8 June 1946, Robert attended the World War II Victory Day Celebration Reception held at the Dorchester Hotel, London.
He lived in Charleston Street, Springburn, until his death in 1968. Football fans at Celtic Park regularly saw him on a Saturday as he worked as a cashier at the turnstiles. A modest man, he often played down his bravery, saying he won the medals for having 'shot the cook'. He died on 18 April 1968.
