WHY AMERICAN STEEL MAKERS

marvellous growth of the iron and

The Higbees were presently at home in

sparkling eyed and sprightly. Prominent
in her manner was a helpful little con-

that made her personally engaging. TO

confident was her attitude. .-...-
She began bubbling at once to Mrs.

them-and the watchfulness required to
keep daughter Mile from becoming en-
tangled with leading theatrical gentle
