A brilliant wedding was held last
night, at the residence of Maj Geo. H
Bonebrake, on Figueroa street, when
his daughter, Miss Blanche, and Mr., J
A. OF were united in marriage. The
house was illuminated throughout, and
the decorations exceeded anything
in that line seen SO far this season
Along the front of the porch were hung
numerous Japanese lanterns, shedding
their vari colored rays over the lawn.
Inside of the house was perfect bower
of loveliness. In the parlors on the
right, where the ceremony took place,
the taste of tie decorator showed its
aesthetic nature. Around the chande-
lier, and over the pictures, was en-.
twined the graceful folds of smilax
while its delicate tracery was also out
lined upon the walls. AT the further
end of the front parlor were two gates OF
smilax. Joined with white satin ribbon
and behind them was a lovely canopy
of pepper boughs, in the front of which
was knot of white roses, while numer-
GUS bouquets peeped from between the
green folds OF the peppers. The couple
stood under this canopy.
The two rooms were divided by a
graceful arrangement of smilax festooned
between the folding doors and forming
an exquisitely tinted portiere, a bouquet
of white flowers being pendent from the
center.
On the other side of the house were
the dining room and room for the musi-
clans. These were divided with a
smilax portiere similar to the one in the
other parlors. The buffet in the dining
room was almost hidden by the embank-
ment of maiden-hair ferns upon it, the
rays of the mirror ever and anon stealing
softly from the delicate net-like fore
ground.
Master Percy Bonebrake, brother of
the bride, and Miss Marie Monroe, pre-
ceded the bride and her father, scat
tering flowers in their path and also
united the satin-b bound gates.
The bride followed on the arm of her
father, and was met by the groom at
the smilax gates. They entered them
and stood under the canopy, where the
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
DR.. Chichester.
Miss Mollie Bowen was first brides
maid, and was attired in a becoming
gown of Nile-green silk. Miss Helen
Sanborn was second maid of honor,
being attired in handsome pink silk
costume. Miss Julia Off was the third
maid of honor, and wore lovely pale
blue silk.
