But, under it all, Betty had a romantic nature, that needed but a certain influence to bring it out. Full of life and vigor she was always ready to assume the leadership in whatever of fun or work was at hand. BUT UNDER IT ALL BETTY HAD A ROMANTIC NATURE THAT NEEDED BUT A CERTAIN INFLUENCE TO BRING IT OUT FULL OF LIFE AND VIGOR SHE WAS ALWAYS READY TO ASSUME THE LEADERSHIP IN WHATEVER FUN OR WORK WAS AT HAND
likely she would have been spoken of as "good-looking." At least by the boys. And certainly Betty was good to look upon. Her face showed her character. There was a calm thoughtfulness about it that suggested strength of mind, and yet it was not the type of face called "strong." It was purely girlish, and it reflected her bright and vivacious manner perfectly. How her features lighted up when she spoke--or listened--her friends well knew. Her eyes seemed always to be dancing with fun, yet they could look calmly at trouble, too. And when Betty Nelson looked at trouble that same trouble seemed to melt away--to flee as though it had no right to exist. And this not only as regarded her own troubles, but those of her friends as well. Intensely practical was Betty, yet there was a shade of romance in her character that few suspected. Perhaps the other girls had so often taken their little troubles to Betty, listening to her advice and sympathy, that they forgot she might have some of her own.
