Senator Davis is 80.
There is an interesting story back of
the approaching wedding. Many years

Miss Cushwa was a pronounced
beauty and was the acknowledged
belle i'll the section in which she lived.
Her family being an aristocratic one
she became a leader in the exclusive
social set, and at all social gatherings
Miss Cushwas society was sought af-
ter by the young galIants of Maryland
and West Virginia.
Mrs Reynolds and young Davis met
for the first time at a dance at a coun-
try house. and frequently thereafter
he became her escort.
Refused Because Poor.
The friendship thus begun speedily
Tipened into love. Davis proposed and
the young woman was willing, but her
parents could not reconcile themselves
to the idea Of their beautiful and ac-
cOmplished daughter marrying a poor
railroad brakeman. and the young man
was sent on his way with a broken
heart.
