sion of Mrs. Eugenia Kelly DAVIS, the
twenty-year-old heiress-bride OF Al
/ Davis. according to her sentiments ex-
pressed last evening in downtown
hotel. where she and her sportsman
husband are staying until their perma-
nent home is selected.
After their sensational marriage the
night before at Elkton. Md, where
( Mormon preacher ga nice old goose,
/ Mrs. Davis designated him) performed
a ceremony too daring for the Metho-
dist or Presbyterian cult, "A. John
Davis and wife" registered at the Hotel
! Du Pont, in Wilmington, where they
stayed until yesterday noon. Iney
/ then left for New York. and to avoid
too great reception quilted the tram
! at Manhattan Transfer, thus reaching
| their hotel without attention.
/ Although Mrs. Davis had just stopped

apartment, 116 East Sixty-third Street.
! only 10 be told. You cant have any
thing in here; get out!" she was en-
tirely serene and composed when she
discussed her immediate future.
Were trying TO decide which OF two
! houses near Oyster Bay we want, saia
| Mrs. Davis, while Al stroked her hanS;
too happy TO do much of anything but
/ nod in approval. "One thing we are
sure of, though, and that Is that we're
always going 20 live In the country.
"Are you going to do the housekeep-
ing?" the bride of a day was asked
VIII Go Into Business.
Indeed. I ami" she said "0f course,
| don't know much about 1t now puy
| guess if other girls have learned, 1
can. too" AL looked at her as much
as to say, "I'd like y see something
too wonderful for you TO do"
The ssarchlight Of investigation was
then turned on Mr.. Davis, and he ad"
lnitted that he was going into BUSINESS:
A friend of his had offered him good
proposition in the gravel trade. and
ke will shortly open an office In I'ew
York. This concluded all the Definite
information the couple we;e able to
give.
There isn't q musical comedy in town
that can boaS. plot equal In speed
and comrlicatior to the succession ot
eventful circun stances which have be-
fallen Mrs. Davis in the last forty
eight hours.
Her hrst problem was TO make get
away with AL and foil the designs OF
reporters from nineteen papers. SO
at IL o'clock Wednesday morning she
jumped in a taxi in front of the Ritz
Carlton, Forty-seventh Street entrance.
The motor was running when she en-
tered, and she whizzed away toward
Fifth Avenue with several taxis in
pursuit. Fifth Avenue was too free
from traffic, so she directed the cab
to Sixth, her idea being to eriss-cross
until the traffic closed behind her.
Luckily, at Broadway and Forty-fifth
Street this is just what happened, and
a street car and moving van going
south blocked the other machines. She
went direct to the Pennsylvania Sta
ton, where she met Al. They bought
tickets only as far as Philadelphia,
meaning to discover in the meanwhile,
If they were followed, and If so to
proceed to Wilmington by fast motor.
No God Bless You"
A prominent statesman and pollti-
clan of Delaware met them at the sta
ton when they arrived, and he at once
started them on the rounds OF the
various churches. At length the Rev.
Henry Carr, unalarmed by the certlii-
cate of divorce which AL presented,
consented TO perform the ceremony.
None of the party knew he was Nor
mon, and il was only later that this
fact was told Mrs. Davis, when she
laughed heartily. The ceremony al
most baked. because Al forgot the
ring. A very quaint Persian enamelled
ring, an heirloom in the Davis family Y
for many years. which the bridegroom
, happened to be wearing at the time,
was quickly substituted, and the knot
was tied.
The following morning at the hotel
/ Mr.. and Mrs. Davis remained in their
rooms until after IL o'clock. They
| received a stack of kilograms congrat-
/ ulating them, but no "God bless youl"
/ from Mrs. Kelly. Al telephoned his
/ folks at 0ceanport, and this reduced
J the parental objection to the match
| by one-half. "My mother has been told
| so many times, by so many different
people, that | was married | was sort
/ Of pleased to be able TO tell her myself
/ it. When Mrs. Davis tried to get her
mother on the phone the maid told
/ her she was asleep
Tsn't She Grand"
| At about II: 80, in response TO insist
ent demands, and after they had break
tasted i'm their rooms, the newlyweds
consented 70 be interviewed. Local
lady reporters could not restrain an
exclamation when they first saw Mrs.
Davis: isn't she grand" She was
garbed In simple blue tailored suit,
with high, gray suede shoes and stock
ings to match. Her black hair was
parted in the middle and combed Sc
verely TO each side, and large, square
onyx earrings completed the Grecian
effect. der much discussed eyes were
the subject of local comment and were
at length classified as grayish-green.

was asked.
J 81 don't know" he laughed. 81 never
saw her angry. She has a wonderful
disposition"
The couple were then asked horde

quently in the recent past. Mrs. Davis
was a bit nervous, as evidenced by a
patter of one foot, but she remained
good -natured throughout, while Al said
she hadn't been in cafe for ten years,
and that they hadn't danced for months,
and that Broadway wasn't bad place,
| il you knew it, and that they hadn't
! the slightest interest in Broadway, and
that mineral water was their fsvorite

'Do you think love is worth all this
,rouble ?" some one asked Mrs. Davis.
'Tf | didn't, shouldn't have both
cred" was her answer.
