The two-particle correlation function is shown to have a {\it stretched exponential} shape, characterized by the Lévy index of stability $ 0 < α\le 2$ and the scale parameter $R$. The normal, Gaussian shape corresponds to a particular case, when $α= 2$ is selected. The asymmetry parameter of the stable source, $β$ is shown to be proportional to the angle, measured by the normalized three-particle cumulant correlations.7 pages, no figures, invited talk of T.
