The bride was beautifully attired in a pale blue silk dress and the groom in the customary black suit, and they presented a pleasing and nice appearance. After congratulations a rich and bounteous wedding dinner was served. It was one of those old fashioned, rich, well prepared dinners, such as our mothers used to p! repare years ago, and the people who had been accustomed to such dinners appreciated it. The guests comprised all of the neighbors of the Soren and Harris families and special friends from Clifton, Palmer and Washington, so it was a happy, good natured oldtimed neighborhood gathering. Mr. and Mrs. SOREN were kindly remembered by all their guests, and received a large collection of useful as well as valuable wedding presents. The groom is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Hans.
