A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

Mr Albert Goldie’s marriage to Miss Dulcie Deamer took place on August 26 in Perth, at the Cathedral

of the Immaculate Conception. Few young ladies have been more talked of throughout Australasia during the last six months than Miss Deamer, whose stories in the Lone Hand magazine have received the unstinted praise of readers of current literature. Mr Albert Goldie was formerly a journalist, who began his career on the “ West Australian,” and subsequently became attached to the staff of the Melbourne “ Argus.” He then went to America,where he occupied a lucrative position in New York as a theatrical press agent, and was engaged by Mr J. C. Williamson to act in that capacity in regard to his various enterprises. A couple of months ago he resigned this appointment to accept an offer from Mr Hugh J. Ward to act as business manager of his new London Comedy Company on his forthcoming tour of India, China, and Japan. It occurred as a remarkable coincidence that at the same time Miss Deamer was commissioned by the “Lone Hand” magazine to journey to the Far East to study certain phases of the woman question. Already an attachment had been formed between the pair by a correspondence originating in appreciation of Miss Deamer’s literary work, and this gained the assent of the lady’s father, Dr G- E. Deamer, of Featherston, New Zealand. Dr Deamer sent his daughter to Perth by

the s.s. Macedonia, to the care of xiixchaei Joseph, where she met Mr Guluie on Monday last. A special license was procured from the po.ice magistrate, to whom ample proofs of the parents' consent were furnished, Miss Deamer being not yet 18 years of age. At the request of the bride, the marriage was therefore, the first intimation that a gifted young writer and a well-known theatrical manager have been united.
