A marriage which has associated
wit it a pleasing bit of romance Will
occur on next Tuesday afternoon at
$50 O'Clock at ST. Andrews Cathedral,
when Miss Gertrude Baker will become
the wife of Mr. w. H. Phillips of East
| Liverpool Ohio.
Miss Baker came here several months
! ago as librarian of the Honolulu Lii
brary. A few weeks since the Board
of Directors were astounded to receive
Miss Bakers resignation. 1t appears
that the efficient young librarian had
| been engaged to Mr.. Phillips when she
! came here, but the marriage was set
for year or more in the future. But
! the separation of the lovers was more
! Of a hardship than they had bargain
| ed for. and when Mr.. Phillips found
that he had business which would take
him to Japan, it was not a great task
to persuade Miss Baker to accompany
him as his wife. He arrived here
Thursday on the Siberia, and after
marriage, the young couple will sail on
their honeymoon to flowery Japan, on
the China, which is due next Thurs
| day.
Mr.. Phillips controls one of the lead
mig art pottery plants at East Liver
pool, Ohio, and it was while at that
city as librarian of the Carnegie lii
brary, that Miss Baker became ac-
quainted and later engaged to him.
Mrs. Denick, cousin of Miss Baker,
who accompanied her here, but con-
tinued to Japan on a tour, has re-
manned there and will DIN the young
couple and tour Japan with them be-
fore they return to America.
During her brief residence in Homo
lulu Miss Baker has made many warn
friends, who while regretting to sec
her leave, will extend their sincerest
well wishes.
