The wedding last night at St.
Andrews Cat hedral, when John S.
Walker and Blanche Adele Corn
well were made man aud wife, was a
brilliant event 10 the circles OF
fashionable Honolulu.
Owing to the recent demise OF the
grandmother of the bride only a
limited number OF invitations
were issued. The beautifully de.
corated Cathedral, however, was
crowded by the hosts of people who
enjoy the friendship Of the two po-
pular society leaders who joined in
matrimonial partnership.
DR.. Grossman, Dr.. Cooper, DR..

as ushers and j o. Carter Jr., was
groomsman

Wedding March" burst from the or

the audience rose and watched with
deep interest the entrance OF the
BRIDE The bridal party was pre-
coded by w. FL. Cornwell Jr., the
brother of the bride, Miss Kate

her to the altar steps where she was
met by the groom. His Lordship

ped for ward and using the simple
service of the Episcopal Church of
America performed the ceremony.
The bridal party then entered the
vestry and signed the registry,

A reception was held at the beati-

fairy palace. Electric lights flashed
from trees and shrubbery arranged
most tastefully by MIR. Theo. Hoff-

golden shower, and in this luxurious
