DOUBLE EVENT
NEPHEW'S ROMANCE KINGSFORD-SMITH'S WEDDING - SAN FRANCISCO, April 5. It looks as though there will be a double wedding in Melbourne next September, when Captain Kingsford-Smith and Miss Mary Powell are to be married. Captain Kingsford-Smith brought Miss Powell's photograph with him on the Sonoma, and it stood in a silver frame upon the table in his apartment at the Hotel St. Francis. That led to romance No. 2. In walked his nephew, Harold Kings-ford-Smith, a San Francisco business man, and Miss Peggy AlcCann, an Oakland aviation enthusiast!" The talk turned from Kingsford-Smith's plans to fly the Atlantic in Juno to his wedding. "Why not have Peggy as a bridesmaid, or, better still, as my bride?" chimed in Harold, proposing on the spot. "We'll make it a double, wedding." Miss McCann consented, but the exact date was left up in the air .... Kingsford-Smith plans, after a longdesired meeting with Colonel Lindberg in Southern California, to go east, and take a ship for Amsterdam, where his beloved Southern Cross plane is being reconditioned.
