DAVID HOLMES
WINS A BRIDE
Literary Critic at Length Wins
Ward Whom He Had En-

David Holmes, noted dramatic
critic, permitted his young and beau

But time sped rapidly on its way
and before the wedding bells had
pealed their gladstone tidings the
younger man found his success too
great burden To carry without sway
ing beneath the egotism that follows
in the wake of notoriety that comes
