PREFACE

I have derived real pleasure from the reading of “Betty’s Battles,” because I am sure if we can only get it into the hands of other “Bettys,” that they will be inspired and helped to take up arms in their own cause, and fight, as Betty did, for the love and peace and orderliness of their own dear homes.

I think a fact is revealed in this story which is not actually transcribed in black and white. It is that the Grandmother through staying with whom Betty had been so much blessed and helped bore the same surname as Betty’s father. For if she had brought up Betty’s mother, I am quite sure there never could have been so much difficulty in the home as was the case when Betty returned from her holiday!
