chrysanthemums and maiden hair.
Miss Helen Parker, the maid Of hon
or, wore a nile green silk gown, with
real lace trimmings. She carried
bouquet of white carnations and maid
en- hair.
After the ceremony the newly mar
ried couple received their many
friends, and they all went out upon the
lawn to enjoy the delicate refresh
ments which had been prepared, and
which were served upon prettily set
tables placed beneath Hawaiian and
German flags.
On the front lawn was stationed the
Hawaiian Band, and all through the
afternoon catchy selections were
played, to the great enjoyment of all.
