or at any rate have announced
no plans for the marriage Of
their lovely young daughter. Miss

made known last week.
Theirs is by way of being a

war. And in spite Of difficulties
Of intercourse and the difference
In their ages a warm friendship
grew up between the two men.
So that one of the first things
Alan Winslow did on his return
to this country was to renew his
acquaintance with Mr.. Castle
and to meet the latter's pretty
daughter, just budding into wom-
anhood.

before the Germans winged him.
He was at first reported dead,
but later was located by the Red
Cross in his German prison; and
when he returned to his home in
Chicago in the spring of 1918 he
was wearing the D. S. c., the
medal of the Lafayette Escadrille,
and the croix de guerre with
palms. And as a further badge
OF honor he was minus his left
arm which had been amputated
IN the prison camp. He is the
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Win

Miss Marjory winslow, and a
ycung sister-in-law, Mrs. Paul
Winslow. are both members of
the Junior League and we'll
known in society.

engagement Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Snowden Ashford's daughter, Miss
annette Ashford, and Ensign
Thomas Lippitt wattles, U. s. NJ,

been an open secret for a long
time. Indeed. Miss Ashford, who
made her debut last year and
was one Of the prettiest and most
popular buds. was telling her
friends about IL before the end Of
her first season. And the only
reason the engagement was not

OF an immediate marriage. He is,

now and the wedding Is to take
place in the early autumn.
