A INAHAU was thrown wide open
IA last evening for the marriage of
Al Mr.. James F. Jaeger and Miss
Elsie Robertson. The wedding was a
brilliant affair and it unites two of the
oldest families in the Islands From no
prettier home could two young people
step forth into the world as husband
and wife than from the portals of the
famous house of not only the late Prin-
cess Kaiulani, but of the Hon. A S.
Cleghorn and his wife, the Princess Lii
kelike. The large estate is best known
as the home of the Princess Kaiulani
where she was raised from childhood
The old kamaainas have fond remem-
ORANGES of Ainahau as the center of
social activity during the lifetime of the
Princess Likelike. The grounds are
among the most beautiful in Honolulu
The winding drive lined with royal and
wine palms, the groupings of date
palms, the forest of cocoanutS, the lily
ponds, the great spreading banyans, the
beautiful peacocks-the pets of the
Princess-the gardens filled with jes-
samine flowers and other rare blossoms
so cherished by the royal owner and the
long stretches of green lawns, make of
Ainahau tropical Utopia never failing
of the admiration of those fortunate
enough to be entertained within it's
gates.
Last evening the driveways were
lined with torches and parti-colored
lights concluding in a burst of cleo
tricity with which the smaller residence
and the large partly lanai were
ablaze. The front verandah was draped
in the folds of a Hawaiian flag. The
lanai in which all the social functions
are held is large reception hall which
had been transformed into a conserva-
tory of ferns and beautiful island flow
ers by the deft hands of Mr.. Ernest
Parker assisted by Miss Helen Robert
