DIVORCED COUPLE
HAPPILY REUNITED
Clandius Mcbride, Secretary to
Hawaiian Governor, Married
TO His Former Wife

little 8 year old boy, Cecil Charles
Mcbride, was the most important guest
at the wedding yesterday afternoon of
his father Claudius Mcbride of Homo
lulu, and his mother. Mrs. Florence
Mcbride. The couple had been divorced
and had separated for nearly two
years, but paternal yearning to see his
child brought Mcbride home and a
reconciliation with his wife followed.
Mcbride is the secretary TO Governor
w. f. Frear and remained in Honolulu
when his wife returned to her home in
Sonoma after securing divorce. The
little son accompanied his mother and
they have been living for several
months in Sonoma at the home of Mrs.
John Dobbelaar, mother of Mrs. Nc
Bride.
Cecil Charles was beginning to be-
lieve that his father was dead and
had told some of his schoolmates of
his supposed tragedy when Mcbride
came to visit the boy whom he had not
seen for many months. There was a
happs- reunion with the child and the
reconciliation with his mother was the
next matter that engrossed the father
He persuaded his former wife TO return
TO town with him and the boy, and yes
terday afternoon they were quietly mar
ried at the Hotel Manx, with only their
little son and two or three other friends
in the company. There were no at
tendants for either bride or bride
groom and the officiating clergyman,
who was attending a convention in the
htoel when he was called for more
important service, was Rev. W. c.
Bailey.
The bride wore travelling suit of
gray cloth and a spring hat to match
the costume.
Mcbride is here for an indefinite stay
and is awaiting orders from the gov
ernment before proceeding to Wash
ington. He probably will return to
Honolulu for a time and will then re-
sumo his profession of law. which he
deserted several years ago for the post
of private secretary. 1t is tprobable
that the future home of the couple will
be in Honolulu.
The bride was before her first mar
riage in November. 1902. Miss Florence

speeches with renewed appeals that
