a moe perfect summer day never
daWned for more beautiful bride
than Sunday, September 1st, when
Harriet, daughter of Willard G. and
Kate Owen Leonard, became the wife
of Howard Leonard Bickford of
Waltham, Mass. The wedding took
place at the Leonard homestead.
simplicity and perfect taste graced
the occasion and it could not be other
wise with girl like Harriet, and not
doubt as to the wisdom of her
choice arose in the hearts of the near
relatives and close friends that sur
rounded them as they pledged their
vows for a life together. The offici-
ating clergyman was the Rev. John
Manter of Ashland, N. H., the pas
tor Of the brides family when they
lived IN Whitefield, n. II. The double
ring service was used and the cere-

words pronouncing them man and
wife were said by Justice A. p. Bean
thus complying with the state law.
The bride was unattended. The we'd
ding dress was of white satin and
georgette. crepe, hand embroidered.
She carried a shower bouquet of
white roses and wistaria. Miss Mari
on Bickford, q sister OF the groom,
sang, "Oh Heart OF Nine" as a fit

The house was decorated with maid

wedding gifts were many, consisting
OF Liberty bonds, w. S. S., gold pieces
OF different denominations, cut glass,
silver and linen. Dainty refresh

Cheney in the insurance business and
was attending the Vermont state ag-

his entry into the United States ser
vice last October The ceremony
as followed by a merry time and
the whole party adjourned to the
lawn where Mr.. Leonard took q snap
shot of the group. AS the bride dis
appeared up the stairs, she threw
her bouquet and it was caught by
Miss Sadie Wilson. There was plenty
of confetti at hand and guards at
each door but the pantry window af-
forded a safer means of exit and
amid shrieks of laughter and hurry
ing feet they eluded their pursuers
and fed across the foot bridge and
into an auto that was waiting for
them, just out of sight. After q few
days at the Cheney cottage at Will
loughby lake, they will each obey the
