Mr.. AND MRS. SMART
ARRIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO

OF the arrival in San francisco of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry G. Smart. the
San Francisco Bulletin of October
says:
Henry G. Smart, graduate of Vir-
ginia and Vanderbilt Colleges, ac-
companied by his bride of two
months, who was formerly ThelmaI
Parker, niece of Colonel Samuel
Parker and the 'wealthiest belle in
the Hawaiian Islands, arrived in San
Francisco this morning on the Pacific
Mail steamer Korea, on their honey
moon journey to Norfolk, Va, where
the Smart home is located.
The groom is just FL, the bride
only 1S, yet the two were the most
self.possessed passengers on the
liner. The wedding, which was ceie-
brated on the Parker plantation near
Honolulu, was the most pretentious
feast of it's kind in the island c1tys
history and lasted for several days;
| The decorations were most elaborate
| and native dances and singing were
given for the. benefit of the assemb-
led guests. s."
"We had intended leaving Homo
| lulu shortly after the wedding" said
Mr.. Smart, "but certain things pre-
| vented, and this is really our honey
moon. We will stay day or two in
San Francisco, where Mrs. Smart has
A large number of friends, and will
then proceed to Norfolk, Va, where
INV father and brothers reside"
Mrs. Smart was clad in gown OF
4 r.
piece, coat of white chinchllla cloth
and a Frenchy hat of velvet and
feathers. She demurred at the re-
quest for photographs, but later com.
promised, posing with a group OF
/ friends on the topmost deck OF the
Korea.
| She has a charming manner and
shows unusually good taste in her
dress. Although reputed to have
4 much more wealth than Jennie
Crocker, who married Malcolm Whit
new at San Mateo shortly before the
Smart Parker wedding, Mrs. Smart
does not exhibit any affectation. Very
little jewelry was worn during her
trip across the Pacific, and she was
as much q part of the round OF sociai
saieties on the Korea as any OF the
other women passengers.
On it's last previous trip the Korea
was the scene of little mlsunder'
standing between the skipper and the
messengers insofar as raging was
concerned. Once, when some OF the
more daring spirits attempted to In
troduce the Texas Tommy, WORD
reached them that the captain DIG
not approye and the Tagging" ceas
ed 1t remained for a little Hawaiian
belle, Emily Magoon, to defy the skip
ner,s wishes and Tagging" was re
sumed in the face of the captains
edict.
This voyage the korea's presiding
officer let it be known that the bar
had been lifted. Rumor had 1t thai
the concession had been made because
of the presence on board OF the
Smarts. No matter what the reason
Tagging" was approved, and at
hop given between Honolulu and this
port, Mr.. and Mrs. Smart ragged
: to their hearts content.
The romance between Miss Parker
and Mr.. Smart sDrang up following
| the arrival of the young man in Ho
| rolulu last Decerber. He was intro
duced in social circles in the lsland'
and three months ago word OF thei
| engagement reached the mainland
| The wedding followed and the younE
people settled down on one OF tn
Parker estates. They will spend onl!
a few short weeks at the Smart home
Then they will make a tour OF tn
Eastern cities and will return, to tax
nm their permanent residence in tn
