The parlor at the family residence on
Union street was tastefully decorated
with long branches of sago palm,
crossed in twos, and fastened to the
wall with bows of silken ribbon. In
one corner of the room was a hand
some marriage bell, made of white
carnations and a touch of maiden
hair. The veranda was draped with
American and Hawaiian flags; stream
ers of Japanese lanterns extended from
the main gateway to the veranda. On
the rear lawn a lanai, lighted with
powerful arc lights, was constructed
especially for dancing and as BAN
quet room.
Just a few minutes after o'clock
the bride, leaning upon the arm of her
soon-to tobe-husband, and carrying a
large bouquet of white orchids, entered
the room to the strains of Mendels-
sohn's wedding March," and took
their places beneath the marriage bell.
At the side of the bride stood her
father, and opposite was the brides
sister, sweet young miss, attired in
a gown of pink silk. Mrs. Lederer, in
most becoming silk costume, took a
position next her husband. There were
neither groomsmen or bridesmaids and
the service was so short that no one
was impatient for the time for congrat-
ulations to arrive.
The brides costume was a magnifi-
cent white brocaded silk, cut plain
skirt and with bolero jacket trimmed
with point lace The belt and collar
were of the prevailing fashion: plain
white silk. Then there was the con-
ventional veil reaching to the floor and
wreath of orange blossoms.
Directly after the ceremony the
happy couple received the congratulate
tions of their friends. Then came the
collation.; upon which neither care or
expense was spared The Hawaiian
Quintette club was present and furnish
ed music during the banquet, and for
dancing afterwards. The presents were
rich and costly and included some
handsome pieces of solid silver, cut
glass and handsome china.
Mrs. Soule is the eldest child of Mr..
and Mrs Lederer. She has an extern
sive circle of friends here, who have al
ways held for her the deepest admira-
ton for her sweet disposition and
charming manners. She is a girl of
strong character and attractive bearing,
which must win for her a host Of
friends wherever she may go.
