DREAM OF DARNING
SOCKS COMES TRUE
Margaret Ellington Married to
Broker Day After Getting
Divorce From FrOhman
Theatrical Star Who Pined for
Domestic Life Reaches City
on Way to New Home

Margaret Ellington, darling OF the
theatrical world. may now with al
propriety, and with conventional fit
She has discarded the steady glare
of the spotlight for the fitful gleam
upon her own hearthstone.
The curtain has been rung down
upon her histrionic career, and the
thousands who once shouted their ap-
plause have dwindled into the all i'm
portant audience of one. For
She is married now. Margaret Hing
ton is no more. no more. In her place
is Mrs. e. j. Bowes, contented wife of
a real estate man, and the two will
speed away today to their home in
Tacoma, Mash, there to live together,
yea, for ever and day..
MARRIAGE FOLLOWS FAST
The marriage took place in Reno,
New, Saturday night. 1t was but a
day previously that she had secured
her divorce from Daniel F'rohman and.
inasmuch as the convenient laws of
the Sagebrush state require no lengthy
wait of twelvemonth. Bowes, who
has been her knight attendant ever
since she began to see the happiness
to be found in darning socks, was
ready on hand to provide her with the
necessary material for the attainment
of that peculiar brand of Joy.
The marriage was quiet. NO press
agent heralded it forth. Her next
appearance in a play peculiarly suited
to her temperament and abilities" was
not mentioned. Not at all. Margaret
Ellington, actress, was transformed
into Mrs. Frohman, divorcee and very
much woman. She beamed happily and
posed not and clung to the arm OF the
lucky Bowes. From theatrical stand
point the wedding lacked frills. other
wise the knot was securely tied.
1t took place at the family residence
in Reno, there being present j. II.
Light, the brides father; her mother
and James Light, her brother. Judge

SPEND DAY ABOUT BAY
Immediately following the wedding
Mr. and Mrs. Bowes left for San Fran
cisco, en- route to Tacoma. They ar
rived here yesterday and spent the
morning in Oakland with relatives of
the groom and the afternoon with
friends in this city.
Last evening Bowes was the host at
q theater party at the Princess theater,
with his recently acquired wife, her
mother and father.
Bowes, until two years ago, lived in
Oakland and was engaged in the real
estate business there. He made big
success on going to Tacoma, but even
among his closest friends was looked
upon as a businessman. None dreamed
that he was casting matrimonial
glances upon one of the brightest stars
in the theatrical ornament. His name
was coupled first with Margaret Hing
tons when she evinced a desire to
darn socks and to have a Daniel judged
in a divorce court. Then he came out
flat footed that Mrs. Frohman was to
secure a divorce and let it be we'll un-
derstood that if it was in the power of
heaven, hades or Edwin J.sBowes she
would ultimately be his wife. He sue
ceeded.
Mrs. Bowes was radantly happy as
Mrs. Bowes. She appeared exception
ally charming in a tailor made gown
and hat to match and if her attitude
and that of Bowes is maintained in the
future the stage will never again know
Margaret Ellington. She will hence
forth seek the happiness surrounding
a hole in a sock.
Il am very happy she said simply,
and she looked it. So did Bowes.
