In the presence of a congregation
that filled TO capacity st. Anthony's
Church, Miss Winifred Jane Weddick,
daughter of Mrs. Winifred Baldwin
Weddick, became the bride of Mr..
Douglas Frank Num- Brewster on
Wednesday evening. The bride was a
Maui girl, a daughter of a Maui family
had been born and had grown to wo-
manhood here and so she numbers
friends in all parts of the Valley Isle.
Thus it was aptly said that practical
ly all Maui" was in attendance and
that it was the largest wedding ever
held in st. Anthony's church as well
as the largest on Maui during the
present social season.
For the wedding the beautiful
church had been artistically decorated
with charming effect with flowers and
under the glow of lights a wonderfully
beautiful picture was presented for
the ceremony.
At 8 promptly the strains of Men
delsohn's Wedding March began to
throb and pulse softly through the
church and the bridal procession start
ed down the aisle. 1t was led by
Frank A. Lufkin, Ralph Shaw and
Derik Perry, the latter from New
Zealand. Then followed the bridal
party. Mrs. Hosmer Rolph was ma
iron of honor and Miss Elizabeth Wall
was maid Of honor. Both were gown
ed in lovely draped effect creations
of satin and carried bouquets of
bridesmaid roses. The bridesmaids
were Mrs. Ralph Shaw and Mrs.
Sherman Hall, both gowned in laven-
der georgette over pink satin and also
carrying bridesmaid roses bouquets.
The bride entered the church on
the arm of her uncle, Erdman d.
Baldwin and never had appeared more
lovely and attractive. Her gown was
of white MORE silk and Georgette
Canton, cut en- train. She was crown
ed with a cap of ~Battenberg lace and
the lace bridal veil, as the cap, was
sprayed with orange blossoms.
At the altar, Mr.. Brewster and his
best man, Mr.. Hosmer Rolph met the
party and the wedding ceremony was
pronounced by Rev. Fr. Justin in i'm
pressive manner, the contracting
parties making their replies in clear
tones. Then came the occasional
march and the procession passed up
the aisle and out of the church to the
waiting cars that were to take them

was held.
For the reception the entrance to
the hotel and the lobby had been dec
GRATED by loving friends of the bride.
The entrance was an aisle formed by
great tubs of ferns and palms. On
the mauka side of the lobby there was
a bower of fern leaves, white lilies
and other white flowers. About the

charm of artistry. In that bower
stood the bride and groom, with ma
iron of honor, maid of honor and
brides maids on their right and ush-
ers on their left, to receive the felici-
tations of the guests that filled past
them for fully an hour. Mrs. Weddick
was a little aside, nearer the center
of the room, also receiving the guests
at her daughters wedding. For a
time lobby and front lanai were a
closely filled Kaleidoscope and color

man orchestra began to play and
numbers of the guests passed into the
great dining room which had been
converted into a ball room for the
evening Others still eddied back and
forth in the lobby or on the lanai.
During the evening refreshments of
ice cream, cake and punch were serv-
ed by young girls of the Maui COM
munity.
Shortly after nine o'clock the bridal
couple made their way out to an await
ing car and %goodbyes were said to the
other members of the bridal party as
the honeymoon started.
