The recent marriage of Miss Thelma
Parker and Mr.. Henry Gaillard Smart
| in the Hawaiian Islands was out Of the
ordinary. The pretty bride, who recently
celebrated her coming of age with an
elaborate reception lasting several days,
was again the central figure last week at
one of the largest parties ever given at
Waimea. the extensive ranch where she
resides part Of the year She has a home
In San Francisco and q few months ago,
when she celebrated her eighteenth birth
day. 1t was thought that her marriage
| would take place in 1t and would be the
conventional wedding. However, the
young bride planned 1t otherwise. and the
typical Hawaiian celebration was the re-
| suit Of her unique determination. There
| were several hundred guests. and the i'm
mense grounds of the picturesque ranch
were illuminated and decorated with law
ish generosity. The guests assembled al
the hOspltable home q week before the
wedding and there were entertainments
and feasting preceding the ceremony. Al
| the ceremony the bride wore a gown OF
white satin yelled in exquisite lace and
she wore the long tulle veil with orange
| blossoms. She was attended by Miss Har-
riet Bradford Of San Francisco. who left
| few weeks ago for the islands, accom-
panied by her father, Capt. Olney Brad
ford.
The bride Is a daughter Of Mrs. Fred.
| erick Knight Of San Francisco. and is a
| granddaughter Of Col Sam Parker. The
! large ranch Of more than 10000 acres Is
| an inheritance from her father, one OF
!, the sons of Col Parker. Her father died
| when she was a baby, and. under skill
| full management. the fortune Of the at
| tractive young bride has been enormously
| increased. The income from the property
| approximates 100000 year, and this has
| been organized into a trust fund. When
| the heiress came Of age she reserved one
| half of her income for her own use, gave
| one-fourth to her mother and the re-
| manning fourth is to be devoted to chart
| table. educational and public welfare
| This gift is the most generous recorded
| to the credit of any Of the young heiresses
and the bride has received any amount OF
| praise for her generosity and thought for
| less fortunate ones than herself. Her
| fiance is Virginian and is engaged In
business In Honolulu. The young couple
met on the Korea en- route to the islands
| several months ago and their acquaint-
ance ripened rapidly. into a romance.
l They have gone to the volcano to pass
! their honeymoon and will be away a
week or more on the picturesque journey
| Mr.. and Mrs. Smart will reside In Homo
| lulu for several months, according to
their present plans. and will then come
| to this country for visit. Later they
intend to enjoy an extended wedding tour

| year or more.
