falling behind a large palm, around
the base of which we're ferns and 9th
er greens. The pillar behind this was
covered with stephanotis vine in
bloom. To the right of the place where
the couple stood was a table, on which
rested a bowl of white marguerites
out OF the center of which peeped a
few pale yellow blossoms. Placed on
the railing. and hanging down by the
side Of the table was a bunch of Gala
lilies. From the palm on the right
hand side 10 the table Of flowers on
the left. the railing behind the two
chairs for the newly-maTried couple
was completely covered with a bank Of
white flowers. including stephanOtis.
gardenias. carnations. lilies. roses and
marguerites. these on a layer of pa
lapalai."
The wall of the house. forming the
mauka side TO the lanai. was decorated
with various kinds of green's and a
small bunch or so Of flowers. All about
on the lanai were tables of flowers and
pots OF ferns and palms, while lining
the railing on the outside, was a row
OF palms.
One of the prettiest bits in the dec
Grafton of the lanai was the window
looking out from the hall steps. Gov
ering the sill was a solid bank of fine
ieafed maiden-hair. with a delicate
palm rising out of the center. Immedi-
ateIy below this, in a recess in the
wall, was a bank of the fronds of maid
en-hair, coarser than the rest above,
but making a pretty effect by the con-
trast. White oleanders completed the
decoration Of this attractive spot
AS TO the decorations of the drawing
room, although less elaborate than
those of the lanai, it must be said that
they were artistic. Guarding the en-
trance froia the hall to the drawing
room proper were two large vases of
deep red lilies, with ferns. From the
chandelier. in the middle of the room,
hung basket OF pansies. Toward the
front was a large table completely COW
cred with coryopsis blossoms, and
around the base of which were other
yellow flowers. A simple lima lei. just
thrown carelessly on the table, added
what completed most beautiful spot.
In the left-hand mauka corner was an
other attravtive spot, this a mass of
scarlet carnations and maiden-hair
beginning from a bunch on the floor
to others on tables. and finishing in
punches on the shelving in front of an
oval mirror Throughout the room
were set vases and baskets of flowers
from kind friends.
The library. where the presents were
displayed. was decorated simply. so to
leave nothing in the way to detract
from the beauty of the display of gifts
A basketfuI of pink and white carna-
TONS with a large bow of ribbons to
match and suspended from the chan
delier, was the main floral decoration
OF the room. Scattered about among
the presents were little knots of vio-
let's. pansies. forget-me-nots and mar
guerites. To Mrs. Day and others is
due the credit for the beautiful house
decorations.
The decoration of the grounds must
not be forgotten. In front of the
house was a large arc light and an
other on the lawn behind, was sus-
pended over the Hawaiian Band,
which played delightful selections dur
ing the progress of the reception.
Strings of lanterns from tree to tree
were interspersed with flags of various
nations. From each of the palm trees |
were strings of lanterns reaching to |
the ground. The verandas of the |
house both above and below. were |
outlined with lanterns. A silk Hawaii |
an flag. sent in by J. a. Cummins. oc-
cupied very prominent place. The |
work of decorating was done by a |
squad OF soldiers from the barracks un- |
der Captain COyne. The electric light |
effects were the work of Mr.. Theo |
Hoffman and his able assistants. .
