"Jeannette," she asked, "who is this child?"
"Susie Morris. She's in my class."
"What is her father's business?"
"He's a carpenter," piped Susie.
"Where do you live!" asked Mrs. Huntington.
"Spring Street," confessed Susie.
Mrs. Huntington shuddered again. Another child from that horrible street! A blind child could have seen that she was unwelcome. Susie, who was far from blind, stayed only long enough to say good-by to Jeanne.
"You must be more careful," said Mrs. Huntington, "in your choice of friends."
"Everybody likes Susie," returned Jeanne, loyally.
"Her people are common," explained Mrs. Huntington. "I should be glad to have you bring Lydia Coleman or Ethel Bailey home with you."
