The wedding of- Miss Mary Howell of Keokuk and Mr. Oscar Strome which occurred in Yokohama August 16, was a real American wedding, and one of the first to be given in a house at Yokohama in the evening. The Japan Gazette gives the following ac count of the ceremony: Mr. .and Mrs. H. A. Ensworth gave a prettily arranged wedding for Mr. Oscar Strome and Miss Mary Howell, at their spacious residence, 8, Bund, last night at nine o'clock. Mr. Strome is the son of the late C. J. Strome and Mrs. Strome of Yokohama, and Miss Howell, the daughter of the late Mr. Jesse Boweq Howell, a well-known newspaper pro prietor of Iowa, U. S. A., and Mrs. HowelL The civil service had been perform ed at both British and American con sulates gener.il, under the direction of, H. B. M.'s consul general, Mr. A. M. Chalmers, and the Hon. George H. Scidmore, U. S. consul general, re spectively. The large drawing rooms of the Ensworth home were beautifully deco rated, two high gold screens being arranged to form an alcove where a kiosk, cleverly contrived of strung cedar canopied with green foliage, made «in attractive bower for the ceremony. It was flanked by tall jars with large clusters of lilies, beyond which, on one ?ide, stood a wide palm tree, and, 011 the other, the artistic Japanese flower arrangement of pine and flowers, n-hich marks the wed ding decoration in this land. The other rooms Vere adorned with lilies and chrysanthemums. Dr. H. W. Schwartz of the American Bible so ciety, and acting pastor of Union church, came down from Karuizawa to perform tho ceremony. As the bride entered the reception room the wedding march from Lohen grin was rendered with consummate skill by Mrs. SImpson-Baikie, who softly played a voluntary during the service. The bride's robe was of mlnon over satin in cream-white, veiled with silk tulle, the skirt short and very full, the bodice (slightly *'v"d) and long plain Bleeves of the tulle, the under girdle-bodice being of the satin. Then there was a Watteau train, long and wide, of heavy brocaded cream satin, in flower-cluster pattern lined with duchesse. This beautiful train, pen dant from the shoulders/was held by jewelled clasp*, and was slightly "formed" at the waist-line and widen ed to a circular length. It held a special interest, having graced the wedding-gown of the bride's mother more than a quarter of a century ago. A veil of silk illusion^ held by real orange-blossoms, followed the long lines of the train. The bride wore a rope of fine pearls and carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses, orchids and maiden-hair fern, tied with long white satin ribbons. Mr. E. K. Morgan attended the bride groom as best man. After the ceremony a delicious sup per was served with most artistic ar rangement in the huge dining room, on small tables, the largest of which, containing the wedding cake, being reserved for the bridal party. All were brightened with flowers. The old fashioned centre scheme of the "bride's nosegay," with fluted background an! long ribbon stream ers ending in a "posy," was carried out on all the tables, which were lighted from tall silver candelabra. The health of the bride was pro posed by Mr. G. G. Brady, brother in-law of the Iridegroom, in his most felicitous style, and cordially honored by the guests who numbered about two dozen. A response was given by Mr. Strome, who proposed the health (while expressing appreciation to) Mrs. Miller and Mr. and Mrs. Ens worth, to which the nost aptly re sponded. Mr. Morgan, the best man. asked the guests to drink to the health of the bride's mother, absent in America, and Mr. Keane made 4 similar proposal for Mrs. Strome, away In England. The honeymoon will be passed in Miyanoshits, to which place the bride and bridegroom motored, the night being exceptionally fine, with the moon just past its full. Among those invited, besides the bridal couple, the clergyman, Mrs. Miller and the host and hostesses, were Consul-General and Mrs. Chi'. mers, Consul General and Miss Scid more, Mr. G. Brady and Mr.*. Brady (nee Strome), Miss Doreen Brady, Mr. F. W. R. Ward and Mrs. Ward (nee Strome), Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Keane, Mr. and Mrs. Simp json-Baikie, and Messrs. Morgan, Arn old and Buckle. As they passed down the stairs, each guest was presented with a pretty souvenir white satin box tied with a true lover's wedding cake. The going-iway gown was sapphire faille taffetas, coat and skirt with lace blouse. The sleeves were long, jwith deep cuffs, embroidered buttons, and a Russian belt with pearl buckle. tThe hat matched the dress. Mrs. Forrester Miller, who has been chaperoning ss Howell since her arrival, was n*vi.ed in embroidered ecru net over black net, full skirts, and a crushed girdle of velvet In American beauty rose. Mrs. Ensworth had an imported robe of pink satin, veiled In a triple skirted over-dress of wbite tulle em bellished with silver ribbon and points of net embroidered with seed pearls, larger ones outlining the decollettage. A Parision reception train falling from the shoulders, where it was fastened with clasps Met with pearls, was In pale bronze ha«s. striking an imnsual i:' and chic note of contrasts. Mrs. Brady had embroidered pink satin, with wide skirt Mrs. Ward, yellow net over taffetas with full overskirt, and Mrs. Keane was all in white—trained taffeta, veiled in chif fon, the shoulders effectively outlined in a pattern of white satin laurel leaves gold clasps, set with pearls, were at the sleeve lines, and a neck lact of pearls and diamonds finished the toilette Mrs. Simpson-Baikle had a gown of living-rose, in chiffon cloth, bouffant with accordeon pleating, and a large jewelled comb in her dark hair. The Gazette comments upon the gown worn ty the bride in the fol lowing: There has scarcely ever been a more beautiful wedding gown seen here than that worn by Miss Howell on Wednesday evening at her mar riage with Mr. Strome. It was of heavy cream-white satin duchesse with a rare lustre, entirely covered with full veiling of silk tulle, the sleeves long, the throat finish pointed in fro it and evenly rounded at the back. Then there was a won derful train of heavy brocaded satin, in floral design, lined with plain duchesse satin. It was of the pattern made famous by Watteau, hanging from the shoulders, where it was held with clasps s-3t with pearls, slightly fitted in at the waist-line, then widen ing into the form known as circular, and lengthening out and out to the extent of the modified "court" train. The peculiar rart of it is that while being entirely en regie today, it was also the dernier cri of fashion many years ago, when Miss Howell's mother wore it at her wedding. When Mrs. Ensworth and her mother, Mrs. Miller, came out from America last nonth, they were asked to look after Miss Howell as far as Honolulu, where she would be me/ by her aunt (an army officer's 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, it was found that the trouble in Mexico had upset all the plans of Colonel Howell and his wife, and thius it was impossible for the lady to leave. Mrs. Ensworth 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 i.ade arrangements and gave for her the very pretty and artistic wedding described in full in the Gazette of Thursday evening, August 17. The presents, mostly of chased, en graved and beaten silver, were very many and handsome. Several cable grama- of well-wishing reached the bride from her home country. For those who are interested and believe, in the weather-augury of wed dings, it will have been sasisfactory to note that the bride's day was quite perfect, also that of the bridegroom, Thursday. Entertained Last Night, Mr. and Mrs. Ben C. Taber enter tained at a small dancing party at the Country club last night, which was one o£ the most beautifully appoint ed of the many parties given during the summer. The party was given in the club house the guests danced in the reception room and on two Bides of the porch. Refreshments were served on the sioiuth porch.
