and to the music of the ever
~ rolling surf at Waikiki, Miss
Mary Eloise Castle and Mr.. Benjamin
Lodge Marx were united in marriage
by the Rev. Henry Parker last night.
With the Pacific ocean in the back
ground swelling and heaving with the
incoming tide, and the light of the full
moon streaming across the waters, a
more romantic spot for marriage
could hardly be imagined. 1t was es-
sentially a wedding on the beach and
everything was in keeping.
Island flowers, palm branches and
leis were strewn about in abundance,
appropriate emblems at the nuptials
of one of Hawaii's fair daughters with
one of it's most popular adopted sons.
A lanai covered with palm branches
Especially constructed for the dancing
was pretty feature. 1t rested on the
edge of the lawn just overlapping the
sandy beach where the surf rolled in
with a roar which peculiarly blended
with the music of native musicians.
In one corner nearest the sea silken
canopy decorated with Oriental Ian
terms had been made and beneath this
the bridal party stood while the cere-
mony took place.
A roofed-in way leading from the
residence to the lanai, and lighted by
japanese and Chinese lanterns, was
picturesque. At o'clock the wedding
party was formed. The bride was at
tended by her maid or honor, Miss Lii
liam Bacon, and the bridesmaids, Miss
Beatrice Castle, Miss Helen Lowrey,
Miss Claire williams and Miss Edith
Williams. The grooms best man was
Mr.. Andrew Adams of Maui. AS the
party proceeded under the covered way
the girls of Kamehameha school sang
to the music of the Lohengrin We'd
ding March, Mr.. Wray Taylor playing
Mendelssohn's Wedding March after
the ceremony.
The bride was attired in a white silk
crepe trimmed with white illusion and
lace. worn with high collar and long
sleeves. She carried a pretty bouquet
of white carnations and maiden hair
Miss Lillian Bacon was a dainty bit of
Ifemininity in a delicate white Pima
trimmed with blue chiffon and ribbons,
also carried bouquet of white carna-
tions and maiden hair. The brides
maids were prettily gowned and were
a pleasing picture of youthfulness. Mr..
w. r. Castle, uncle of the bride, gave
her away.
The reception was held from half
past eight o'clock until the young peo-
pie became weary Of the enjoyment of
