HONEYMOON AT
PEARL HARBOR
Wedding at Central Union Church
Followed by Supper and Then
the Couple Departs.


After the wedding the members of the
immediate family were entertained at
supper at the Carter home on Nuuanu
Avenue and a special train later took
the young couple to the peninsula
where the honeymoon will be spent at
the country house of w. w. Hall.
The decorations of the church were
IN green and yellow, the pulpit and or
gan loft being hidden behind banks of
palms and ferns, which concealed the
outlines and formed a mass of shadow
against which cleaned the brilliant
yellow of mammoth chrysanthempm
blooms. The blossoms had been sent
from San Francisco and kept upon the
fee since the last steamer, and 50 care
fully was the decorative design carried
put that against the dark surface of
the organ even glowed the golden
sprays and accentuating dark green's.
From the gallery to the chancel were
topped and strung MALE leis which gave
che touch of color above to throw out
the set effects at the pulpit.
The church was filed both in the
main and above. From an early hour
invited guests thronged into the audi
ence room until the seating capacity
was taxed to accommodate all. From
behind the foliage masses rose ten girls

MIR. Cushman Carter, the ushers, led

ing the French custom of wearing wells
and carrying punches of yellow chrys-
anthemums. harnonizing with the
cluster of blossoms which
formed the bridal bouquet
The service itself was short and SIM
.ple. The minister in words few but
fervent Joined the twain and the ritual
was accumulated by an exchange of
rings. During the whole of the cere-
mony there rang through the church
the strains of Traumerei and Mendels-
sohnns Lift Thine Eyes" the violin
solos of Mrs. Royal d. Mead being ac-
companied by the organ at which Prof.
ingalls, presided. the music dying away
to a whispered echo as the young cou-
pie knelt for the blessing of the cele
brant.
A moments congratulatory wait be-
fore the altar and to triumphant notes
of Mendelssohnn's Wedding March
the groom escorted his bride from the
church followed by the wedding party
and a moment later darkness and soil
tude held the room where vows had
just been exchanged.
The bride was gOwned in white organ |
die with point lace over Duchesse satin |
and the dress has an extrinsic value far
beyond its apparent worth. 1t was the |
gift to Miss Carter from former Queen |
The bodice was elaborate
ly tucked in V shape, the whole front |
being Ornamented with lace. The same
effect was carried out in the sleeves to |
the elbow and below, the sheer material |
being often permitted to give bouffant |
effect. The skirt was tucked at the |
seams part way down and beneath |
flowed a fiounce of accordion pleats. |
The lace with which the gown was
was of the rarest old PoiRt |
and added an effectiveness to the cos |
tune which could not have been i'm |
parted by any other garniture.
Miss Carter, the maid of honor. was |
dressed in pink organdie over silk, and |
the two bridesmaids wore cream organ |
die. the effect of the color combination |
and the wells caught in the coiffure by |
flowers being exceedingly effective.
Mrs. ], o. Carter, mother of the bride, |
wore dark grey silk trimmed most be- |
comingly with duchesse lace.
All day yesterday there was stream |
0f callers at the residence of the brides |
father to get look at the wedding |
gifts. Aside from the elaborateness of |
these there We're many which have his |
toric value. There were old paintings |
and necklaces, odd pieces of china |
which had been brought out to this |

was one magnificent set of bouillon |
cups with silver laced holders. There |
