SIMPLE LIFE NOW
FOR THE DAV|SES
Eugenia Kelley, That Was, Ad.
mits She's Not Much On
Cooking, But will Try.

WILMINGTON. Del. Nov. iS.-Mrs
Albert J. Davis. who until 7:3o O'Clock
last night was Miss Eugcnia Kelly. II
in the Hotel Dupont with her husband
She is telling him that she doesn't know
much about cooking. but that she is
sure she can make perfectly dear
clam pic.
Mr.. Davis. who is better known on
broadway as AZ" Is tust telling his
lately as Miss Eurenia Kelly. the
twenty-year-old million dollar helress
daughter OF Mrs. Edward Kelly. New
York. that he likes clans. but that
clans are not necessary to his perfect
happiness.
Mrs. Davis smiles and says:
We'll. there are other things one
can eat besides clam pie
Now for the Simple Life.
Mr.. Davis says something else ex-
tremcly culinary here. and there is some
small talk about how Mr.. Davis arises
at the unearthly hour of $50 a. m.. and
how the former Miss Kelly tumbles out
Of bed at an equally unspeakable hour.
and how they both love the simple life
and deplorc the Broadway whirL
Mr.. Davis is sure the clans should be
steamed with their clothes on. His
bride raises her hands and eyebrows
be something about clans which Is a
closed book to her, and then she says:
"Al, I hardly realize l am married
Let me see that certificate
And this takes US right back to the
original proposition. which is that Mr..
Davis and Miss Kelly were married at
the time aforesaid In Elkton. in the
state OF Maryland, by the Rev. Henr J
Carr. In his front parlor.
1t may be said that several ministers
Of Elkton were modest about perform
ing the ceremony after they had seen
a certificate OF the divorce decree which
was granted by Supreme Court Justice
Pendleton In New York Tuesday.
The present Mrs. Davis asked her
husband several times during the day
II he didn't wish he could remain q
bachelor more than twenty-four hours.
1t must be recorded that he said each
time that he had been a bachelor too
long to please him already.
1t will be remembered that interest
IN the affairs Of Al Davis and the then
Miss Kelly became acute last May, when
Miss kellys mother had her arraigned
on a charge Of incorrigibility.
Right now the situation Is that Mr..
Davis had far too much influence over
MIS- Kelly and that something was
besides mentioning Mr.. Davis in her
tax to the magistrate. also referred to
taxls and cocktails without restraint.
Righ now the situation is that Mr..
Davis has suit for $4,000 for slander
against Mrs. Kelly and both Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis are wondering what will
become of It.
Mrs. Davis says that when she left
home her mother said:
What time are you going to get mar
II don't know myself" Mrs. Davis
says she replied.

When Miss Reilly left her mother,
home she went to the Ritz-Carlton,
where she waited word from Davis.
Meanwhile a dozen or go newspaper
reporters had stopped Miss Kelly. and
whom she had refused to talk with them

when. at 1:30 p. M. Miss Kelly hurried
from the Carlton exit and stepped into

"Elkton is the Gretna Green of the

Three Declined 70 Act.
After the license had been got by
Mr. Davis there was a hitch in the
proceedings. Three ministers declined
to marry a divorced person.
Mr.. Davis was telling Miss Kelly that
he would motor over every square inch
Of Maryland In quest Of a minister who
would marry him when the Rev. Mr.
Carr was suggested. The Rev. Mr..
Carr lives in that section of EIkton
known as Little Elm, and is pastor OF
small church gack in the country
When the Rev. Mr.. Carr agreed to
perform the ceremony Miss Kelly said
Thank goodness. ] am awful hungry. "
Mr.. Carr repeated a simple and i'm.
pressive service In deep voice. Mr.
Davis and Miss Kelly stood with bowed
heads. The Rev. Mr.. Carr Is a young
man and earnest. His voice sounded
above the drone OF the waiting motor
and quite filled the front parlor of the
little cottage. The ceremony began al
7:25 and ended at 7:30. when he said:
Now kiss each other"
