daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward IT.
win Spalding, became the bride of
Lieutenant George Cleveland Bowen,
U. s. A., of Fort Shafter, one or the
most popular young officers of the

Bishop Restar1cK performed the
ceremony at Saint Andrews Cathe-
dral at eight thirty amidst a strictly
military atmosphere. Fully eight hun
bred people were in attendance.
The decorations of the cathedral
were marked by simplicity and ele-
gance, the pure white altar being
abloom with brass vases of Easter
lilies and towering graceful palms,
while the choir and chancel were
banked with white daisies and maid
enhair ferns. Masses of Easter and
Gala lilies filed every nook and cor
ner. Two large quaint baskets were
filled to overlooking with pink Ouch
ess roses, with pink satin streamers
and bows tied to the handles.
The first three pews on either side
were reserved for the family of the
bride and most intimate friends Of
the groom and were designated by
tall sprays of Easter lilies tied With
long streamers of pink satin ribbon.
Promptly at half after eight the
choir entered, singing, and took their
places behind the embankment OF
floral beauty. After short silence
the soft strains OF me grand organ
were heard in Lohengrin's wedding
march. At this juncture, the four
ushers in full military regalia ad-
vanced and, stopping abruptly two on
each side, drew forth their sabe"s'
holding them on high while Lieut.
Bowen and his best man, Lieut.. NC
CIeary of Fort Shafter, in full regi-
mentals passed under the arch, fol
lowed by all the members of the
bridal party. The ushers were Lieu
tenants Chiffon A. Pardee, James
and GronIger.

loneliness, leaning upon the arm OF
her father. She wore an exquisite
gown en- train of white satin heavily
embroidered in white marguerites,

! distinctive feature of her robe. The
train was very long and four panniers
front and back extending from the
shoulders were caught to the hem OF
the gown by clusters of orange buds.
She wore real orange blossoms in her
veil, which was long, and carried no
flowers, but a white kid book called
