HAMMOND-LYMAN
Wedding Ceremony at
Kamehameha School.
Wedding Bells and Flowers for
Two TeacherS-PleaSan
Occasion.

The closing chapter of Kamehameha
festivities found its "finis" in the good
conventional manner of the story
Most of the girls at the school had left
for their homes, and just sufficient of
them remained to assist in the tasteful
decorations, to serve in the dainty we'd
ding breakfast and to show their affec-
tionate interest in the wedding of Miss
Nettie E. Hammond to Mr.. Levi G.
Lyman.
Promptly at noon the guests in the
parlors, warned by the opening chords
of Mendelssohn's wedding March,
parted to make way for the bridal cou-
pie. The Rev. D. P. Brine, stationed
in an archway between the two rooms,
draped by graceful portierre of vines,
was to be assisted in the conduct of the
ceremony by DR.. c. M. Hyde. The SIM
plicity and dignity of the service
seemed to render unusually impressive
the responsibilities the beauty OF
divinely ordained wedlock.
And what of the brides costume? 1t
cious bride. From mans standpoint,
it was pleasing, harmonious and sensl-
BILE; from a woman's and connoisseurs,
it was that and more-a product of
white chiffon over white silk-to which
description should be added some me-
chanical details by writer better
qualified by sex, while the casually OBJ
servant could not have failed in appre-
citation of the sweet bouquet of stepha-
notiS and maiden-hair.
The congratulations that followed
were the warmer for their informality,
and were none the less sincere and
cheerful, though this marriage means
decided loss to teachers of the Manual
and Girls School, who comprised the
major part of those present.
Each appreciative guest found plate
laid in the dining room and successive
courses of the wedding breakfast had
added charm lent them by the we'll
drilled and becomingly-dre girl
walters. The party was a CHEEKY one,
without the haste and confusion so
frequently the result of a departing
bride and groom.
Mr., and Mrs. Lyman left by the Clau-
dine, and found host of friends on
the dock to wish them "God-speed"
and cover them with leis. They plan
few days trip to Makawao, thence to
Hilo by the Kinau.
Miss Hammond has no relations in
the Islands, though she expected until
recently that her cousin, Lieutenant
Commander Ingersoll, of the Philade1-
phia, would act in an important capa-
city at the wedding. She came to this
country in 1889, and has hosts Of
friends in Makawao, where she taught
for five years in the Maunaloa Semi
nary. Her year and a half at the Girls
School has equally endeared her to all
her associates and pupils
Mr.. Levi G. Lyman needs no other
euconium than that he is Lyman aft
er the approved type of Hilo Lymans.
AS SUCH he has been sought as sue
cessor to his grandfather, the founder
of the Hilo Boarding School, He has
had long and honorable connection |
with Kamehameha Manual, and carries |
with him the respect, regard and sin |
cere well-wishes of the school.
