(by Mark 3chaet&en> J ; |ETTT MIBUKIf Mrs. ' Nielsen, who id so mttch American of the higher typf Is a native of Denmark. Except ••tor a trace of very appealing -Meant and her own memories of ^Denmark, one would find it hard to believe she was not born right here in McHenry. When Betty left Denmark it was their loss and McHenry's gain. -She left Copenhagen early in ®r youth and settled temporarily in Chicago. After the death of husband and faced with the necessity of becoming the breadwinner for her little family, she X BETTI MELSKS decided to try her hand at managing a small business of her «wn. On Riverside drive, on the ffte which now houses Nye's drug wre, there was a general store %hich Betty thought had possibilities. She bought this store and after much advice and conflicting Ideas, as well as a few dire predictions, she proceeded to turn Mis near failure into a successfill Venture. She did just that and she did it fast!! ^Within a year she had put the •lore on a paying basis and reheeled it into a ladies shop. Bur years later she bought the IWWt.'OU which her -present e»- tabllahinent now Btands. In 1940, jjft thereabouts, she erected a two- •tory building patterned after Scandinavian architecture. The (round floor became her shop and above this, she has her home. The shop speaks for itself. It la a model of neatness and cleanliness. tier indisputable good taste, 4th in the choice of merchandise and in ,Che manner of its display, make of her shop a mecca for local wpmen and a place of interest for out-of-town visitors %ho, once having seen the shop, come back again and again. They bcfcome boosters of Betty Nielsen and of McHenry and its many ISlher fine shops that surprise id- deHght them and are a never •ding source of pleasure to the Mrs. Nielsen leaves the cares of her business on the shelves of her 4hop when she ascends the one light of stairs to her home. Here, too, her exquisite taste and love for neatness and order are evident. Her snnporch, with its bamboo furniture and light summery upholstery, transports one from "he realm of business to a cool -estful oasts In the twinkling of \ footstep. Her living room, too, 's furnished in the good taste one somes to expect and learns to •ssociate with Betty Nielsen. Her appointments are perfect, and 'mong her cherished treasures is lome fine handwrought Danish •Silver, Betty displayed some of this Silver recently at the garden show !n a beautiful table setting. Tho very lovliest of her treasures Is, of course, her daughter Bettina. Bettina is a girl of whom any mother would be proud. With her beautiful hair and the delightful clear color of her translucent skin, she has the look of a Dresden doll. She follows in the footsteps of her attractive mother not only in the matter of personal beauty but also in her adaptability to the world of fashion. After graduation from the University of Arizona, Bettina returned to McHenry and went into the shop with her mother. She is fast learning the intricacies of managing a successful business. She sepmp so much the*/'Deb" type that it. Is difficult to picture her at the head of a thriving business, but her mother is confident^ Bettina will be an efficient manager When, some day. she may run the shop. Mra. Nielsen doesnt spend all of her time - at the shdp. The demands on her time are great and varied. She is always on call for a table arrangement here, or a display or other there. In spite of all this she does take time out to pursue a few Interests of her own. A few years ago she treated herself to the luxury of a trip back to Copenhagen. There she renewed old acquaintances and made new friends. The object of visit was, primarily, to attend the silver wedding anniversary of her' d e a r e s t f r i e n d s . At t h e d i n n e r i n ' honor of this occasion, Mrs. Nielsen was privileged to meet some of the Danish royalty. This was a memorable occasion for her and she still preserves and values a great many little mementos of that dinner and of her entire trip to Denmark. These same dear hep them become McHenry's welldressed women. Her daughter, Bettina, was narrator at the atyle show and did-* very fine job. Her clear voice rose above the inevlltable hum created, by the 506 or so who attended. There was vary fine mule to add to the natural beauty of the setting of the Villa Reaort. All these thinga made of the show an unusual type pt entertainment, tha kiud of entertainment the average woman dreams about but seldom experiences. Mrs. Nielsen worked many hard long hours planned thla event and she must be very proud of the result. She constantly strives to improve the quality of anyhting she undertakes and she does so in a manner completely satisfactory to herself and others. This is Betty Nielsen.
