NI HE handsome home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Roland Bishop on West
II Adams street was the scene last
evening of one of the most beautifully
appointed of the fall weddings, when
in the presence of about 200 relatives
and friends Mr.. Bishops daughter,
Miss Huston, became the bride of Ed
ward Bosbyshell, son of Mr.. ana MRS.
William Bosbyshell of West Eleventh
street.
The occasion was a notable one not
only because the marriage united rep
resentatives of two families prominent
both in the social and financial lire OF
Los Angeles, but also on account or the
great personal popularity of the bride,
whose rare beauty and winning charIn
combine to form an unusually attract
i've personality.
The Bishop residence is especially
adapted to entertaining with large
functions, and the drawing room, re-
ception hall and living room form a
suite which is practically one large
room. One side of the drawing room Is
occupied by a recessed stone fireplace
fully fifteen feet long, and mere an al
tar was improVised. 1t was a chrySan-
themum wedding, only pink being used,
and the fireplace was concealed by a
bank of ferns set thickly with the rag
ged blossoms of the Japanese variety
A dais extending well out into the
room served as chancel, and the rail-
was twined thickly with maidenhair
fern and Cecil Bruner roses. Aspara-
gus and tiny incandescent lights cano-
pied this altar, and the fern in thick
ropes outlined the ceilings of the rooms,
clinging as well to the tops of the WIN
dows and wide doors.
Great jardinieres, occupying places
of vantage on tables and tabourets
here and there about the rooms, were
filed with the nodding chrysanthemum
heads and ferns.
The capacity of the house was IN
creased by an immense tent erected on
the side lawn, and here supper was
served after the reception which fol-
lowed the ceremony. Here Wright,
who was in charge of the decoration,
had set long tables on each side in an
arrangement something like double
u, with three smaller tables down the
center. The brides table was in the
center, and suspended above 1t was an
umbrella of ferns and chrysanthemums
from which fell a shower of Cecil Bru-
ner roses.
The posts which supported the tent
were thickly covered with the greenery
in which was intertwined tiny electric
bulbs and the pink chrysanthemums,
and myriad lights glowed softly along
the ropes of ferns which canopled the
improvised banquet room. Pink shaded
candles had place in silver candelabra
on all the tables, big baskets of pink
roses tied with big fluffy bows OF tulle
were at each corner, and roses were
scattered down the length of the Ia
bles. Wall pockets filed with chry-
santhemums caught the feStoons OF
fern around the sides of the tent.
The Episcopal marriage service was
read by Rev. William Horace Day of
the First Congregational church, and
specially arranged program of wedding
music was rendered by Arend's orches-
ira, stationed in the upper hall behind
a screen of ferns. The bride was given
in marriage by her father.
The gowns worn by the bride ana
her attendants were very handsome.
Miss Bishop was attired in old rose
point made over white satin and cut
empire, high at the throat and with
long sleeves, and she carried shower
of orange blossoms. Her long tulle
veil, caught with a wreath Of the same
flowers, fell to the foot of her round
traine.
Mrs. Burton Green, who served the
bride as matron of honor, wore an i'm
ported gown of white chiffon made in
tunic effect over white satin, the front
and bottom of the dress and the wide
sleeves being outlined with wide band
of embroidery in pink and green and
blue. The dress was cut low at the
throat and she carried a shower of pink
bridesmaid roses.
The group of young women who at
tended as bridesmaids included Miss
Helen Bosbyshell, Miss Mary Clark,
Miss Irene Kelly, Miss Ruth Sterry,
Miss Helen Wells and Miss Katherine
Mellus, and they were gowned alike in
pink chiffon with silver trimmings and
carried bouquets of pink blossoms. The
bodices were cut low and with the long
sleeves, which came well down over the
hands, they wore no gloves.
Two charming members of the bridal
party were the brides little nephew
and niece, Master Olin Wellborn, jr.,
and Mildred Wellborn, to whom were
intrusted the responsibilities of ring
bearer and flower girl. They We're
dressed in Colonial costumes, with
powdered hair, the tiny ring bearer
wearing rose velvet coat and white
satin trousers, while the little maid
was attired in a Powered silk gown
with tiny figures of pink and blue.

bridegroom.

ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs. Roland Bishop
and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bosbyshell
