the rnery Of perfect June day yester-
day for the marriage of Miss Harriet
Loring. their daughter. and Harold r.
Ward The weather, evidently intent On
making amends for bad behavior was
typical of June-such as the poets write
about-and a sunlit sky illumined the
landscape that made the setting for one
of the handsomcst al fresco affairs Of
the season
The Rev Marion p Shutter of the
Church of the Redeemor read the nup-
tial service in the presence of many
guests for, although the invitations had
been estricted to the relatives and in
innate friends, it had taken many auto
mobiles and launches to bring the guests
to Woodcnd.
An orchestra, stationed behind a thicket
of shrubs all abloom in their Verdure
of carly summer. played the program
of bridal music. At 4:30 O'Clock, the hour
appointed for the service. the musicians
changed their notes to the 'Lohengrin
bridal chorus.
The bridal party came out by way of
| the front entrance and walked down the
persola under a lcafy canopy of wild
| grape vines to the farthest end. Here
and there clusters of garden flowers
were arranged, wing in beauty of color
and fragrance with the flowers-mar-
| Guerltes peonies, iris, lilies and many
| other blossoms-that shook their pretty
| heads like crowns over the flower beds.
| Dr Shutter, the bridegroom and his
\ best man, Charles Ward of Burlington.

at the improvised altar of flowers ard
