ADLAI’S SON MARRIED.

Miss Helen L. Davis Becomes the Wife of Lewis G. Stevenson. Mr. Lewis Greene Stevenson and Miss Helen L. Davis were married. Tuesday night at Bloomington, 111. The groom is the only son of Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson, and the bride the eldest daughter of William O. Davis, proprietor of the Bloomington Daily Pantagrapn. A singular feature of this marriage is the fact that the contracting parties ai e children of families strongly opposed to each other politically. Miss Davis is one of a family of three children. She has a brother older and a sister younger than she. She is an accomplished linguist and is of a decided literary turn. Young Mr. Stevenson was educated in the East, and has had some experience as a journalist. He is now his father’s private secretary. The wedding took place at the Second Presbyterian Church. Cne thousand invitations had been sent out for the ceremonies at the church, and that edifice was compactly filled. The church was most lavishly decorated with pure white chrysanthemums, and it presented a beautiful sight. The white of the flowers and the delicate green of the foliage were the only colors in all the wealth of decorations. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Davis residence and it was attended by nearly all of the 300 invited guests. The bride and groom will sail early in December for Europe, and will spend a few weeks in Southern France. On their return they will take up their residence at the Hotel Normandie, Washington, D. C. ,
