MAJ. BISHOP MARRIED
---
Ceremony Takes Place in Eaton
Memorial Church in Toronto.

Special to The Journal.
TORONTO, Oct. 17.- No wedding
in recent years attracted greater
interest in this city than the marriage
ceremony in the Timothy
Eaton Memorial Church, this afternoon,
when Miss Margaret Burden,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Burden,
and granddaughter of late
Timothy Eaton, became the bride
of Major Wm. Avery Bishop, V.C.,
D.S.O., Bar M.C., the most celebrated
aviator Canada has produced.
Sharp at 3 o'clock the bride, accompanied
by her father, arrived at
her grandfather's memorial church,
amid the pealing of wedding
chimes. At the door of the church
was formed up a guard of honor
by 22 officers of the Mississauga
Horse and sixty girls of the V.A.D.,
of which the bride was a very popular
member.
Inside the church were about two
hundred invited guests and over four
thousand onlookers. Miss Burden
looked lovely in her dainty gown
fashioned of ivory kitten's ear (?)
crepe, with sleeves and tunic of
beautiful Carrickmacross lace, the
court train falling from the shoulders,
lined with shell pink meteor
and caught with a true lover's knot
of orange blossoms. A small wreath
of the same flower, mingled with
white heather fastened the veil of
magnificent Carrickmacross applique
to her soft dark hair and made a
charming frame for her piquant face.
She wore a sapphire and diamond
cluster ring, her gift from the groom,
and a diamond and platinum brooch,
the present of Sir John and Lady Eaton.
The bouquet was a lovely
shower of lillies of the valley and
mauve cattleye orchids, with white
and silver ribbons.
The bride's girl attendants were
a symphony in opal shades; the
maid of honor, Miss Gretta Burden,
sister of the bride, in mauve; Miss
Louie Bishop, sister of the groom,
in blue; Miss Dorothy Rolph in
maize, and Miss Josephine Eaton
in lavender, all fashioned of meteor
satin, with silver lace sleeves and
artistic hoods of the silver lace
falling from the neck. Their hats
of silver lace and Georgette crepe
carried out the colors, and carelessly
arranged bouquets of roses
and lillies of the valley were carried
on their arms, the maid of honor having
sweetheart roses and the
others Ophelia roses, tied with ribbons
to harmonize with their gowns.
Sergt. Major (illegible) was best man
and the ushers were Capt. Kerr
Cronyn, Lieut. Guy Rutter, Lieut.
John Mackay, Lieut. Ferguson and
Lieut. Allan Bishop.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Dr. Henderson, following
which the wedding party left the
church to the strains of Mendelsohn's
wedding march, while V.A.D.
girls strew rose petals in their
path and the officers formed an
arch of steel with their swords at
the steps of the church.
After the ceremony the bridal pair
and some two hundred guests adjourned
to Mr. and Mrs. Burden's
house on Avenue Road, and tea was
served from a long buffet, centred
with the cake and arranged with
pink and white roses and lilies.
After the toasts and speeches, Major
and Mrs. Bishop left in Sir John
Eaton's private car for Washington
where they will spend the month of
November, the aviator having been
lent to the British Mission there by
the Royal Flying Corps.
The groom was presented with a
magnificent single stone diamond
ring by the citizens of Owen Sound,
his home town.
