Marriage of Mr.. Ernest H. wode-
house and Miss May Ward.
Everything was brilliant about
the wedding of last night. Decora.
tions of fresh foliage and flowers
lent a festal appearance to the chan
eel of St. Andrews Cathedral. Along
the desk of each front pew was laid
a bank of flowers, shedding a sweet
fragrance through the church. There
was an arch of greenery in front of
the altar for the couple to stand
under while being married. Before
the hour, 7:3O, goodly audience
had gathered. In the front pews
were assembled the relatives of the
twain about to be made one-Major
j. H. Wodehouse, British Minister
Resident, and family, Mrs. Ward,
mother of the bride, DR.. McWayne
and family, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Hustace. Messrs. Geo. E. Smithies
and Edmund Stiles, experienced
ushers as they are, disposed all who
came to the best advantage.
Rev. Alex. Macintosh conducted
the service, iptoning the lessons,
while the choir, under the leadership
of Mr.. Wakefield, beautifully sang
the responses. AS the bridegroom,
Mr.. Ernest Hay Wodehouse, entered
the chancel from the vestry, accom-
| panied by the groomsmen, Mr.. A.
l. w. Carter and Major Geo. G. Potter,

strains. The bride, Miss May Ward,
walked up the middle aisle leaning
on the arm of her uncle, Mr.. Mark
p. Robinson. She was attended by
her sister, Miss Kulamanu Ward,
maid of honor, and Miss Ethel
Wodehouse, bridesmaid. The choir
sang, "How welcome was the CALL"
at the entry of the bridal party,
and, after the couple were pro-
nounced "man and wife," the we'd
ding psalm. Mr.. Taylor, who had
accompanied the ceremony with soft
music on the organ, played the
tirement to the vestry, and Mendels-
sohn's grand wedding march on
their departure from the church.
The bride looked most charming
arrayed in dress of white Ottoman
silk trimmed with Honiton lace, her
head adorned with silk lace veil
and orange blossoms. Her trous-
seau was made by modiste in San
Francisco. The bridesmaids were
attired in white crepe.
Mrs. Victoria Ward, the brides
mother, gave wedding reception at
$50 o'clock to a large number of
guests, at the family homestead,
"The Old Plantation" King street.
The driveways leading to the man
sion were lined on either side with
torches at close intervals, making
avenues of light that gave splendid
effect. At the end OF the vista of
flame was the letter "W" in colored
lanterns over the front entrance of
the mansion. From the double
family initial were festooned the
American and Hawaiian flags. Flags
of all nations were artistically draped
on the verandas and in the door
ways. The entrance to the refresh
ment lanai in rear was bordered
with palm leaves and profusely hung
