Brilliant Wedding Ceremony in
kOhaIa.

Church, were sOlemnized the nuptials
of Miss Annie Wright, niece of Mrs
James Renton of Kohala, and Mr.. E
Ernest Gliding, chemist and sugar
boiler at Union Mill.
Kind friends of the bride Mesdames
Kynnersley and Wallace, and the
Misses Wight and Atkins, had decorat-
| ed the interior of the church of which
| the young lady is a member, in taste
| full and artistic manner. The decora-
tions were in green and white and the
effect was beautiful Mrs. H. w. Brown
presided at the organ.
The wedding took place promptly at
s o'clock. At this hour the bride, ar
rayed in white organdie, trimmed with
satin and valenciennes lace, entered
leaning on the arm of Mr.. J. Renton.
Following them were three pretty little
tots as bridesmaids, the Misses K. Rem
ton Alice Bond and Muriel Hind, who
very demurely took their assigned
places in the ceremony. At the chancel
the bridal party was met by the groom.
Rev L. Byrde, pastor of st. Augustine's
read the Episcopal marriage service in
his usual impressive manner.
After the ceremony, the bride and
showers of rice, drove to the home of
Mr. James Renton, uncle of the groom,
at which spacious residence the recep-
ton was held.
Here again were ample evidences of
esteem. A large lanai has
been erected for lovers of dancing, and
this, as well as the broad verandas,
was intertwined and festooned with
wreaths of fern among which a pro-
fusion of Japanese lanterns produced
a subdued and enchanting effect. The
interior of the residence had been de-
corated under the supervision Of Miss
H. Lewis and Mesdames G. F. Renton,
B. D. Bond and John Hind. 1t is need
less to add that the effect was striking
and picturesque. Masses of beautiful
ferns, grouped with great art, gave a
pleasing impression; and, amid this
tropical scene, standing under a we'd
ding bell of maiden hair fern and
Dlumaria, the happy couple received the
of their numerous
friends.
In the dining room adjoining were
arranged the tokens, both costly and
useful of the good will of resident
friends, as well as of those from other
parts of the group.
The Kohala Quintette Club, engaged
for the occasion, sang popular Hawai-
ian melodies upon the arrival of the
guests. During the evening, light re-
freshments were served. Dancing was
kept up until a late hour, attesting the
guests hearty appreciation of their
hosts hospitality.
