The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-11-27


With violets growing everywhere;
Twas there that me and Peggy went
The perfume in the air
intoxicated me with bliss,
With Peggy's winning smile,
Upon her cheek | placed a kiss
Ere we had gone a mile.
There in thtt coy lane in Kent
asked the lass to be
My own; she blushed a shy consent,
And she belongs to me.
sprinkled violets over her,
They scattered at her feet,
1t was a pretty picture, sir,
For Peggy's smile was sweet.

The most beautiful wedding of the
season, and probably the largest and
most lovely one that Honolulu peo-
pie have ever seen, took pace on Tues
day evening at F., the Central Union
church when the Rev. DOremus Scud-
der tied the knot binding Miss Violet
Damon and DIR. Frank Lawrence Put
man in the presence of fifteen hundred
people For weeks past Miss Damon,
one of our society maidens and beloved
by all, not only for her family con-
nections, but for her sweet and love-
ly character, has been feted in a fiat
tering way, and at the elimination on
Tuesday evening, her hosts of friends
and acquaintance we're thrilled with
the stupendousness of the event. Bere-
tania street and Richards street were
blockaded by automobiles making pro-
gress impossible. The streets were
aglare with light, and crowds stood
by to witness the arrival of the guests.
Inside was a scene to dazzle the eyes
of the invited guests who crowded the
auditorium even to standing ROOM
At the entrance to each pew stood a
| tall pillar, completely hidden and
adorned by ferns and twining MALE
vines, and caught round with white
satin bow and streamers. The choir
loft was all but concealed by nu-
merous cut and potted plants and
stately palms, while the pulpit was
transformed into a bower Of green
One may say it was a green and white
wedding At the termination of the
series of columns rose an arch and
gate in Japanese style made entirely
of white roses and ferns. About ten
minutes after eight the strains oil
Mendelssohn's wedding march burst
forth from the organ, and the lovely
young bride entered, leaning, in a
most enhancing manner, on the arm
of her father, two little flower people
going before and scattering white
roses. The manner of the brides en-
trance was noticeably attractive, nc
queen or simple maiden could have
appeared more dignified or sweet. She
was attired in a gown of Princesse lace
over white satin, a tulle veil falling
in soft folds to the hem of her gown
caught in places by orange blossoms
and carried a shower bouquet of pure
white orchards. The maid of honor
looked very lovely in pale green Mes
saline, carrying a shower bouque1
of white violets and maiden hair fern
The other bridesmaids were robed il
three shades of green, all bearing large
shower bouquets of maidenhair ferns
and making a picture of beauty Ions
to be remembered. The service wa

the ceremony, a remarkably touchin
feature was the soft strtins of must

After the ceremony the bride an

and retired to Moanalua where a re
