 CHAPTER GIL.
 Betty's wedding was like no other I have ever heard about or seen. But it was lovely and sacred and sweet, in spite of the fact that it took place in a little hospital room. The room was a bower-a garden.
 The guests were Virginia and Tony as I seem somehow to be calling Anthony Norreys these days-Miss Moss, Doctor Lucas and the Matron and the Head Nurse of Greyfriars' Hall. Jim gave the bride away, and las "Matron of Honor''-bore a wonderful cluster of American Beau ties on one arm, while 1 sat on the edge of the bed and supported Betty with the other. Terry knelt rever- ently on cushions at the side of the bed.
 The minister's voice souned like a l muted golden bugle. As he finished speaking the late afternoon sun came in through the window 10 kiss the bride.

Once I had made up my mind to xeu Terry nothing about the tragedy that was hanging over Betty my ner- yousness ceased. My decision was rnade-and with it the further one that all thought of, the ugly outcome of the operation on Betty's arm must be dismissed from my thoughts for the time being.

 Animals were early chosen as proper playmates for children, but as the demand for such pets is not met by the supply of live little animals it has been found necessary to resort to stuffed toy animals, which Amer ican manufacturers have made so faithful in their likeness to the orig inal that 1t is a debatable question which kind the average child prefers.

Beasts of the barnyard have ever been fayorites. and one can imagine the little Teller having lots of 1un with his COW and the small farm hand. arms and legs himself, and something to which the child attributes an ao1l- ity to do something that he again can understand, such as to walk. to talk +o want things and to like as well as 10 give affection. The child does not think it out in quite this way, but something within the child, when nobody has yet been able accura1ely to ana1vZe- clothes the animal pet of either kind with characteristics which make it ikeable.
 By all means let the children have animal pets If it is a toy animal, see that it is made in tleast a very fair imitation of the original.
