white-trained taffeta, yelled in chif-
fon, the shoulders effectively outlined
in pattern of white satin laurel
leaves; gold clasps, set with pearls,

| The Gazette comments upon the
gown worn ty the bride In the fol-
flowing:
1 There has scarcely ever been
more beautiful wedding gown seen
here than that worn by Miss Howell
( on Wednesday evening at her mar
riage with Mr.. Strome.
1t was of heavy cream-whtte satin
duchesse with a rare lustre, entirely
covered with full yelling of silk tulle,
the sleeves long, the throat finish
pointed in front and evenly rounded
at the back. Then there was won
derful train of heavy brocaded satin,
in floral design, lined with plain
Iduchesse satin. 1t was of the pattern
made famous by Vatican, hanging
from the shoulders, where it was held
with clasps set with pearls. slightly
fitted in at the waist-line, then widen
and frightening out and out to the
extent of the modified court" train.
The peculiar Fart of it is that while
being entirely en- regle today, 1t was
lalso the dernier cri of fashion many
years ago, when Miss HOwells mother
j wore it at her wedding.
| When Mrs. Ellsworth and her
mother, Mrs. Miller, came out from
America last rnonth, they were asked
to look after Miss Howell as far as
Honolulu, where she would be met
by her aunt Can army officers wife),
who should accompany her here for
the wedding, as it was impossible for
the bridegroom-elect to get away at
the time. Arriving in Honolulu, 1t
was found that the trouble in Mexico
had upset all the plans of Colonel
Howell and his wife, and thus it was
impossible for the lady to leave. Mrs.
Ellsworth had become so attached to
Miss Howell, and so impressed by her
charming personality, that she con-
tinued to act as chaperone, and on
arriving here 1.ade arrangements and
gave for her the very pretty and
artistic wedding described in full in
the Gazette Of Thursday evening,
August II.
The presents, mostly Of chased, en-
graved and beaten silver, were very
many and handsome. Several cable
grams of well-wishing reached the
bride from her home country.
For those who are interested and
believe in the weather-augury of we'd
dings, it will have been satisfactory
to note that the brides day was quite
perfect, also that Of the bridegroom.
