of the Event.
At half-past three O'Clock this
afternoon, Miss Dora NJ. Dowsett.
daughter of Mrs. S. II. Dowsett, and
Mr., Randall Won Tempsky, son of
the late Major Won Tempsky of New
Zealand, were united in marriage at
st. Andrews Cathedral, the cere-
mony being performed in very i'm
pressive manner by the Rev, John
osborne. Though it was intended
that the ceremony should be a very
quiet affair, yet the Cathedral was
we'll filed by friends of the con
tracing parties. AS the bride en-
tered the Cathedral, leaning on the
arm of her uncle, DR.. Robert Nc
Kibbin, who gave her away, the
choir of the second congregation
sang the hymn, "How welcome was
the call" Miss Leila Wodehouse,
youngest daughter of H. B. Ms
Commissioner, was bridesmaid. The
bridegroom was waiting at the chan
eel steps, attended by his best man,
Mr.. l.. F. Hughes of Makawao. AS
the ceremony proceeded soft music
was played on the organ by Mr..
Wray Taylor, who officiated at the
instrument throughout. AS the
bridal party walked from the nave
to the altar the 12Sth psalm was
sung. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony, and as the newly married
couple retired to the vestry to sign
the rogisterI Ia special wedding march
with hymn was rendered by the
choir and organist. This music has
always been performed at the mar
riage ceremony of member of the
choir. AS the bridal party left the
Cathedral, the strains of the we'd
ding march were heard from the
organ.
The floral decorations in the
Cathedral were simply superb. The
choir desks in the chancel were
banked with the choicest of flowers
with a green ground. On either side
of the altar stood potted plants, and
Vines were trailed around the front
of the pulpit. The desks of the two
front seats in the nave were also
covered with vines and flowers. The
effect of the decorations as seen from
the lower end of the church was ex
tremely pretty.
The bride looked lovely in ira
Yelling costume, and her departur,
to Maui, her future home, will leave
void in Honolulu social circles
which she has graced for number
of years. In musical circles Mrs
Won Tempsky has been a very pro
minent figure. She is an accom-
plished musician, and the choir o
the second congregation of st
Andrews Cathedral in which sh'
has sung for many years will mis-
her very much. The bridegroom il
in business at Wailuku, Maui, and i
a gentleman possessed of man,
sterling qualities.
The bride was the recipient o
bun1ro6C of tho moct baautiful pra
sents. 1t seldom falls to the lot o
a bride to receive so many wedding
presents. 1t would be impossible tc
enumerate them. Her Majesty thu
Queen sent very handsome bracelet
with monogram, while one presen
that the bride will no doubt treasure
was beautifully illuminated ad
dress and solid silver cream an,
sugar set from the choir of st
Andrews. The address reads a
