PROMINENT YOUNG
DICKINSON COUPLE
JOINED IN WEDL0CK

Autumn flowers, combined har-
moniously in their beautifully rich
colors and placed with artistic taste
in vases and baskets tied with huge
bows of tulle, were the decorations
used at the spacious home of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Soules on First Avenue
West on Wednesday evening for the
wedding of their daughter, Miss
Frances, to Elliot Freeman, son Of
Captain and Mrs. c. N. Barker. The
ceremony was performed at o'clock
by the Reverend J. G. Duling, pastor
of the Congregational church, and was
witnessed by a large company of
friends and relatives of the young
couple.
Before the vows were spoken, and
while the members of the bridal party
were taking their places at the head
of the stairway, Miss Mildred Perkins
sang very sweetly "Until" by Tesch-
macher.
Four little girls, Mary Soules, sister
of the bride, Mildred Reed, Mary
Louise Reed and Helen Reed, dressed
in white, acted as ushers, preceding
the bridal party down the stairs to
the strains Of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March, softly played by Miss Florence
Davis. They were followed by the
Rev. Duling, the bridegroom, with
Oscar T. Forde as his best man, and
then by the bride with her brides
maid, Miss Marjorie johnson. The
procession crossed the reception hall
and the little ushers separated and
stood at either side Of archway lead
ing to south room where the happy
couple turning to face the guests were
made man and wife, the beautiful ring
ceremony being used. Miss Davis
again presided at the piano during
congratulations, and later was the
lucky girl who caught the brides bou-
.quet which was thrown from the stair
way.
The wedding gown was fashioned
of pale pink beaded Georgette crepe,
very becoming to the bride. She car
;ried a beautiful shower bouquet of
brides roses and sweet peas. Her
maid was attired in a pretty creation
of blue taffeta and she carried pink
roses. The bridegroom and best man
wore the conventional black.
Following the ceremony a four
course wedding dinner was served the
guests, covers being laid for 81. The
bridal party and family sat at one
long table and che other guests were

dining room and hall. The tables were
adorned with yellow asters and dainty
little place cards, also in yellow, rep
sresenting little brides, holding bou-
!quets, which were made Of moline.
The latter were the handwork of the
bride. Every guest received a piece
of the wedding cake, and the dime, de-
noting riches, was, to everybody's de-
light, found in the groom's piece.
Rev. Duling, who is very popular for
K his readings, after dinner, rendered
