ers everywhere, II made a most lovely
setting for the marriage party last
evening, when Miss Nellie Moore Low.
reg and William Levi Moore were
joined In wedlock.
The guests, driving up the roadway
lighted by festoons of electric lights
stepped into the brilliant atrlum OF a
Roman home, with the ferns, palms
and decorative house-plants scarcely
hiding the model OF the Venus de Milo
casting her peaceful influence on IN,
scene. A dainty little statuette OF a
baby girl was watching the play OF the
gold fish beneath the silyery spray OF
the fountain in the marbled pool. The
water dripped musically from tiny
crystal parasol and led the eye to the
redflashing of the fan-tailed gold fish
as much at home as II they had not ar

wedding.
Each wedding guest received a per-

the hostess and was Ushered up the
stairway past a great silk Hawaiian
dag From the balcony, looking down
upon the palm uncovered court, the
fountain, the statuary alj the guests
attracted ones attention. Maidens
stood ready at the top Of the stairway
TO direct the guests 20 the dressing
rooms. Some were passing down, or
stood admiring the scene from this
point of vantage. Il was only when
they had once again descended into
the beautiful room that they could see
the artistic details OF It's decorations.

roses and geraniums, white and green
everywhere, with the festal touch of
the festoons of male, forming a border
over the windows.
In the makai corner, facing the en-
| trance, was the bridal bower. The
| walls and canopy of Jasmine formed
a green background, starred with
white carnations and maIguerites from
the gardens of Hilo. The bower was
guarded on one side by tall fronds of
| the sage palm and on the other by a
pillar of Hilo Gala lilies. In front
was bamboo railing, hidden in callas
and palapalai. In the gateway was the
| beautiful altar pillow Of Nile green
silk, its white grass-Cloth soyer en-
brOidered in green.
| When the guests Of the evening, who
were the more intimate friends of the
family. We're grouped about the court
in informal converse, the strains OF
music floated in from somewhere. The
bridal chorus from Lohengrin was
played by Professor Yarndley, accom-.
panied by Miss Clymer.
The music heralded the approach oil
the bridal party. The ribbon bearers
Helen and Allen Louvre, stretched
white satin ribbons from the staircase
TO the bower, forming an aisle for the
approaching bride, upon the arm Of
her brother, preceded by the brides
maid. AS the ribbon bearers reached
the bower, the party stepped into the
court and approached the rail of tbs
altar, where the Rev. William Morris
Hincaid was awaiting them. The groom
and his best man, b. L. Marx JOINED
the party. The mother OF the bride
sat on the right OF the bridal bower
The jubilant chorus changed to tbs
quieter strains OF The Ring" (song)
by Schuman, as the pastor read the i'm
pressive service, which moved many {

There was a mons mt Of hesitation
as the family offered the.r congratula
tions, then the bridal party quickly
formed and the guests gathered in
formally TO offer their best wishes.
The bride wore a beautiful gown Ell
traine, OF filmy Liberty silk, over Lib
erty satin, trimmed with wide Nalen
c!ennes lace. The misty veil hoatet
about her, confined only by spray o
jasmine in her hair. The brida
bouquet Of maiden hair and La Marqu'
roses, Was tied with streamers of tull,
like the veil.
Miss Florence Kelsey, the brides
maid, was gOwned in white CONNECTION
over green, as was also the little rib
bon bearer, Helen Lowrie.
In an adjoining room the many beau

and gold, Bohemian and cut glass

ed much attention.
While the guests were refreshing
themselves with ices and drinking e
the health Of the happy couple in de
licious fruit punch, the little people o
the household distributed dainty boxe!

While the bridal couple were bus!
with formal good nights, the les,
formal guests made raid on th'
presents, each one bearing his cholc,
from the room in triumphal procession
when the preoccupied groom was Gale,
upon to defend his household and hi

So was launched the daintiest yash
that ever sailed from Honolulu's wat
