Pont, where with her husband she
spent last night Now of course.
everyone might not know who Mrs.
Albert J. Davis is. but it is an assured
thing that everyone viii know when
the information is handed to them that
this same Mrs. Davis until last even
ing, when the little French clock on
the mantel in the study of the Rev.
Henry Carr of Elkton, Md. merrlly
chimed out seven silvery notes, was
Miss Eugenia Kelley, the twenty-year-
old million dollar heiress of Mrs Ed
ward Kelly. of No. 116 East Sixty
third street, New York city. The ro-
nance of Miss Kelly and Mr.
Davis. better known as "Al' Davis,
the dancer. is well known. and the
facts are equally as widely known as
to how Mamma Kelly, becoming
wroth at the persistent attentions OF
the would-be suitor, openly avoWed
that her daughter should never marry
him, and how, for the benefit OF Who
ever Z might concern, she furthermore
said some rather mean things about
Mr.. Davis, which he refused
TO let her say. with the result that
there is now in the court dockets of
New York a suit for $4,000, pending
against Mrs. Kelly for alleged SLAM
der.

her taken into court because OF her too

dancing parlors, where Davis was a
cabaret dancer. Eugenia and her mother

would marry "Ar' Davis az soon as he
was divorced His divorce decree was
signed yesterday.

longl to make the next train for
Philadelphia, where they changed cars
and came on through to this city.
Here they secured a limousine and re-
paired to Elkton, where the ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Henry
Carr, the Marrying Parson,' and said

} telling the reporters just what she
did think of that place.

tion?" said she, when | really know
almost nothing about it, Here Mr.
Davis took up the trend OF thought
by saying, "Since | have known Mrs
Davis, and that has been about two
years. ] have never known her to b'
in a Broadway cafe more than hal
dozen times"

as Broadway" said Mrs. Davis
