WILLIAMSON
WEDDING.

evening
her home in Nuuanu avenue, the eere-
mony taking place in the attractively
decorated parlor beneath a canopy of
white tulle which was easCaded with
white asters. The bride, who comes
from one of the oldest English families
in Honolulu, was charmingly gowned in
white satin yelled with white mar
quesette, trimmed with rose point, and
she also wore a tulle veil daintily caught
up with orange blossoms, and carried
a bouquet of delicately shaded orchids.
At half-past eight, while a Hawaiian
orchestra, concealed far from the cere.
monial room, sang, the bride entered
Honorable Cecil Brown, preceded by the
bridesmaid, Miss Irene Dickson. The
bridal party passed through a lane of
ribbons, unfolded during their progress
by Mr.. Buttolph and William Dickson,
and beneath the canopy the party was
met by the groom, who was supported
by DR.. Arthur G. Hodgins, his best man.
Rev. Father Stephen of the Roman
Catholic mission awaited the bride and
groom, and when the music ceased he
spoke of the responsibilities and Sc
robustness of married life and the hope
of blissful career if the laws of the
church were adhered to. Following the
serious statement came the actual cere-
mony, when they were joined in holy
wedlock, the ring was placed upon the
BRIDES finger, and the reverend father
then pronounced them man and wife.
The hushed groups of friends who
crowded the rooms and peered through
the doorways Immediately crowded
about the happy groom and his charm
ing bride and showered them with con-
gratulations. 1t was a pretty ceremony
and happy time afterward. The bridal
party received under the canopy, where
the bride S aunt, Miss Maria Chapman,
and other relatives joined them to greet
the numerous company of guests.
The bridesmaid was charmingly
gowned in a pink crepe du chine,
trimmed at the bodice with jeweled
passementerie of blue and gold, with
hussar passemeterie trimming down the
sides of the skirt, which was semi
hobble. She carried a bouquet of pink
roses
The lanais in the rear of the home
then became the central attractions,
where the bride and groom joined the
guests and all quaffed to the health of
the newly married ones. Delicious
punch, cooled in a great bowl, was a
brew which was used oftenest, and
while so engaged the guests lost sight
of the quiet departure of Mr.. and Mrs.
Williamson for parts unknown to spend
their honeymoon. However, the dis
appointed guests, who had rice by the
sackful to cast after the fleeing couple,
threw it in the air and hoped that the
trade winds blowing through the Pail
gap and down the valley would watt
a few grains to them. But the accumu-
lations of rice did not remain untouched,
for the guests deluged one another and
had a merry time.
In one room were many beautiful
presents on display, including a hand
some cut glass punchbOwl and glasses,
sets of silver, ornaments and cablegrams
from friends in far distant places, some
being from the groom Is old home in the
eastern States.
