delssohns Wedding March the bridal
party left the church and entering
autos sped out to the beautiful home
| of the brides parents on Punahou
! street where sumptuous supper was
served for only the bridal party and
! family of the bride. No reception
was held.
| The house was abloom with pink
and green, soft silk shaded Candida
bra adding to the effect. In the artis-
tic drawing room each small side table
held brass jardinieres and vases of
| pink bride roses, carnations and white
marguerites, while in the back parlor
a table was expanded to it's limit to
hold the dazzling array of gifts to
the fair bride. A handsome drawn
work scarf lay over the table on
which rested tall cut glass vase of
American Beauty roses, while shaded
candles shed a pink glow over the
myriad of costly and elegant
gifts.
| The table for the bridal party was
on the lanai off the dining room, set
out among a little fairyland of palms
and young bamboo, hanging baskets
of luxurious maidenhair ferns and
great sprays of the fragrant catharta
carpus flowers, while young pepper
trailers formed dainty portieres in
the doorways.
The brides table supported a cen
terpiece of brides roses and maiden
hair ferns artistically arranged in a
brass basket to whose massive handle
was tied large bow of delicate pink
tulle. Here covers were laid for
nine, the guests being Mr.. and Mrs
George Bowen, Lieut.. Pardee of Fort
Shafter, Lieut. Groninger of the Fifth
Cavalry Leilehua, Lieut.. James
Lieut.. McLeary, Miss Spalding, Mrs.
Garrett and Lieut.. Chiffon.
The place cards, which were paint
cd in water colors by Mrs. Bowen,
were little brides (none of whom, by
the way could bear comparison with
the originaD on whose heads were
tied real white tulle. An artistic
pale blue Japanese lantern for a
drop light amidst trailers of aspara.
gus fern and candelabra in silver
filigree and golden fringe completed
the dainty picture.
In the dining room Mr.. and Mrs.
Spalding, Bishop and Mrs. Restarick.
Miss Helen and Mr.. Irwin Spalding
were seated at a round table, whose
pink silk shaded candelabra, place
cards of small cupids and centerpiece
of roses in brass basket were most
attractive, while the decorations con-
sisted of pink roses and sprays of the
catharta carpus.
The luxurious drawing room of Mr. :.
and Mrs. Spalding with it's rich and
costly furnishings, it's Marquesian
statuettes, Persian rugs and Chinese

filled with white and gold margue-
rites, pink carnations and great
sprays of the fragrant and luxuriant
catharta carpus flowers, the chande-
Tiers in all the rooms being all but
hidden in trailers of asparagus fern.
In the back parlor the dazzling
gifts were arranged on a very long
table upon an immense Mexican cloth
which was adorned with single tall
cut glass vase of American beauty
roses and soft pink silk shaded can
delabra, whose pale glow fell on the
