THE RECEPTION.
AT $3.50 O'Clock the wedding re-
ceptOn opened at the house of the
brides parents, Keeaumoku street.
There was an early stream of guests,
continuing until the rooms and YER
andas were thronged. The guests
were presented by the ushers to Mr..
and Mrs. Lishman standing at the
front door of the paror, afterward
being led forward to present their
fluctuations to the happy couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross stood at the
farther end Of the room beneath the
design of an umbrella composed Of
MALE vine and ferns studded thickly
with tuberoses and oleander bios
SONS. This was departure from
the conventional marriage bell which
attracted much admiring attention.
Floral decorations about the room
were on gorgeous sCale-testoons
OF vines crossing beneath the ceiling,
stands of palms and tiger lilies,
banks of roses, fragrant lunches of
coriopsis, nasturtums, roses and
plutnarias the dividing arch Of the
room hung with the brilliant-hued
bignonia venusta towering vine.
A large room adjoining the paror
was so stocked with bridal gifts as to
leave OIL y narrow passage between
the long table in the middle and the
heavily laden tables and stands on
all sides. There were spoons and
tableware in plenty, although the
presents did not run uuduIy in that
line as is sometimes the embarrassing
case. Beautiful and costly clocks,
rich vases in various materials, valu-
able sets of dishes, bric-a- brac-the
list would be too long if everything
was enumerated. A large and ee-
giant wedding cake beautifully orna-
mented stood in one corner.
Refreshments substantial and
dainty were available on long tab es
on the rear veranda, in such prodi-
gal amount that after the many
scores of guests had partaken there
was no apparent depletion of the
boards. The younger portion Of the
company and all so disposed were
entertained at dance given by Mr..
and Mrs William Lishmau at their
house adjoining, Here also refresh
ments were served in abundance
until the party dispersed at mid
night. Music was furnished by the
Royal Orchestra.
