Mr.. AND MRS. SMART i.
ARRIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO

or the arrival in San Francisco Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry G. Smart, the
San Francisco Bulletin of October 1
says: ..-. ...... Hi.
Henry G. Smart, graduate of Vir-
ginia and Vanderbilt Colleges, ac-
compallied by his bride of two
months, who was formerly Thelma
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 81, the bride
only IS, yet the two were the most
self-possessed passengers on the
liner. , The wedding. which was cele-
brated on the Parker plantation near
Honolulu, was the most pretentious
feast of its kind in the island city's
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
1--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
large number of friends, and will
then proceed to Norfolk, Va, where
my father and brothers reside.
Mrs. Smart was clad in a gown OF
dark material, with fancy lace neck
piece, coat of white chinchilla cloth
and q Frenchy hat of velvet and
feathers. She demurred at the re-
quest for photographs, but later com
promised, posing with group of
friends on the topmost deck OF the
Korea.
She has charming manner and
shows unusually good taste in her
dress. Although reputed to have
much more wealth than Jennie
Croker, who married Malcolm Whit.
ney 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 a part of the round of social
gaieties on the Korea as any of the
other women passengers.
On its last previous trip the Korea
was the scene of a little misunder-
standing between the skipper and the
passengers insofar as Raging was
concerned. Once, when some OF the
more daring spirits attempted to in
troduce the Texas Tommy, word
hn nonfain did
not approve and the Raging" ceas-
ed. II remained for little Hawaiian
belle, Emily Magoon, to defy the skip
per's wishes and Tagging" was re-
sumed in the face Of the captains
edict. :@-. 5.... 49," ~.- F.. -
This voyage the korea's presiding
officer let it be known that the ban
| had been lifted. Rumor had 1t that
| the concession had been made because
| of the presence on board of the
! Smarts. No matter what the reason,
| raging" 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 sprang up following
the arrival of the young man in Ho-
nolulu last December. He was intro
| duced in social circles in the islands
and three months ago word OF their
| engagement reached the mainland.
The wedding followed and the young
| people settled down on one OF the
Parker estates. They will spend only
| a few short weeks at the Smart home,
Then they will make a. tour of the
Eastern cities and will return, to take
up their permanent residence in the
| pearl Of the Pacific"
