The groom's gift to his best man
and ushers were dainty pearl stick
pins. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev Canon Ault, the beautiful
Episcopal ring service being used. A
very charming bit of sentiment, is at
tached to the ring, history to bring
back the romance of another genera

party motored to the residence of Mr..

tables. each beautifully decorated with
flowers and tulle. At the brides
table huge, gold French basket fill
ed with pink blush roses was used as
centerpiece. Streamers of tulle con-
nected this with four smaller baskets
OF the same shape, rioting with lovely
pink roses Ferns and roses caught
here and there in the tulle were scat
tered about the beautiful lace cloth
on the table. The places of the bride
and groom were marked with heavy
white leis, while wedding bells, en-
bossed with roses and with a clapper
of hearts were used as place cards
for the others. Similar decorations
were used on the other tables and
with the many pink shaded lights, the
scene was one of unusual charm and
daintiness. An Hawaiian quintet car
pling gay tunes and soft native melo-
dies, added the final touch to the fes-
tivity of the occasion. The guests at
supper were Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Wat
