Though no formal engagement had been announced, it was learned to- day that Jessie Evelyn MoCann, the pretty social worker and daughter of Robert G. McCann of No. 438 East Twenty-first street, Flatbush, who has been missing since last Thursday morning, regarded herself as the flancee of Wendle Squires of Good Ground, L. 1., a student in the Columbia School of Mines, and expected to marry the youth, who is twenty-three years old, the girl's age, as soon as he finished his college course. Nevertheless, the girl was not completely happy, and therein lies the ex- planation which her tamily has come to accept as the most likely one for the girl's disappearance. Only a short time ago, it was learned to-day, the girl said to her mother: “You'd think I would be happy now that [ know I care for Wendle, wouldn't you, mamma? But I am not happy.
