Years Eve, by Rev. Alexander Mack
intosh, at the residence of John A.

was private to the family and the
most intimate friends, but a recep-
ton was given afterward which was
largely attended.
Decorations were in beautiful
style. A canopy OF Swiss muslin
trimmed with maiden hair ferns was
erected in corner OF the parlor. 1t
had at its outer margin a wedding
bell OF marguerites with lily for
a tongue, and ropes OF tuberoses
leading to the top. The piano was
buried under bed Of ferns studded
with hundreds OF white oleanders.
Hawiian flags were used as draperies
and portieres, and flowers abounded
everywhere. The spacious grounds
were illuminated with torches along
the carriage ways and footpaths,
aud the large music pavilion in
which the band was stationed glow
ed with many lamps. Three large
kahilis and bust OF the late King
Kalakaua were among the ornaments
of the reception room.
The couple stood beneath the
canopy to be married and to hold
their reception. j. .. Carter, Jr.,
was best man. There was no brides
maid The bride looked lovely
dressed in white surah silk trimmed
with lilies of the valley, and wearing
the usual veil.
A splendid feast was laid out in
the lanai and managed by j. w.
Chapman, whose skill in that line is
unsurpassed. After the company
had all gone forward to present their
congratulations, they were invited
into the lanai for the supper. Cham
payne and light wine punch were
served around, and the officiating
clergyman in felicitous manner
proposed the health of the couple.
Then the bride stuck a knife in the
bridescake in observance of the an
Client custom of "cutting the cake"

decorated in +. Horns best style.
The Hawaiian National band play
ed nearly all night in the pavilion,
being feasted to their hearts con
tent in intermission. There was
some dancing in the parlor, but

attend the great ball at lndepend-
