Every Outsider .....


           How to make her run ? No problem there. For a fearful shadow lies constantly over the residents of Uneasy street. It casts itself through the ostensibly friendly handshake, or the gorgeously wrapped package. It beams out from the baby's carriage, the barber's chair, the beauty parlor. Every neighbour is suspect, every outsider, every period ; even one's own husband or wife or sweetheart. There is no ease on uneasy street. The longer one's tenancy, the more untenable it becomes.
