many of the older families of Califor-
mia is the engagement of Miss Eva

elect. The further news is made pub

Miss Castle is a charming girl and
one of the most accomplished of her
talented family. She is the sister
of Mrs. Charles d. Farquharson and of
Mrs T. L. Cunningham of London. The
brothers of the bride elect are Albert
Castle, Arthur Castle and Walter

The family acquaintance is extensive
and the news of the betrothal will
cause a shower of good wishes for
the attractive bride to be. While Mr.
Macquisten's home is in Scotland he
has wide acquaintance in this coun-
try and will be the recipient of many
ngratulations. since the formal an
nouncement is made of his engage
ment to the popular California girl.
Miss Castle doubtless will be the
feted guest at several affairs before
her wedding, but the brief month may
cause many of the favors to be re-
served until later in the summer.

Of course I could "see the wheels go

didn't act at all as if they were half

II is doubtless too much to expect
that men and women who know they
