great deliberaton That's project number one.
Salter nodded doubtfully.
"A community embarrassing project?'
But no, that wasn't what Steve meant. He
didn't care much whether the windows were clean.
he said But they were supposed to be picture
windows, weren't they? The trouble was you
didn't get enough of picture. r.
For instance, Steve went on, putting on his pipe,
when their neghbor Joe Capp pointed to car
toon in magazine and Enid came over and looked
and laughed well, the COnonS could see the geS-
ture and note the laughter, but they didn't know
what the Joke was about and that was frustrating
Or take the night when he and Betty d argued over
whether you spelled it fantasy" or 'phantasy"
and had done little friendly arm-waving.
1t must have been annoying for the ClappS not
to know what the fight was about
So say" Steve continued, ignoring his
wife's look, THAT we ought to chip in and get all
the living rooms wired for sound and then we'd
be able to hear everything that goes on in the
development instead of just see. Id know what
Joe was laughing at, and he'd know Betty and
were only having friendly argument and not
real knock down-drag-out fight"
Joe and Salter and Mike Harris laughed, but
their wives didn't think it was very funny, and
after while the meeting broke up. Nothing had
been accomplished.
Afterwards, Steve went out on the patio to look
at the stars. Betty making angry noises in the
kitchen, and he thought it would be better to let
her cool down. He leaned back comfortably in
his chair. Joe Clapp came stepping furtiVely over
the boxwood and sat beside him.
II admire your nerve, FRIEND he said. "You
know you've got all thirty-eight adult females in
Petersk hating your liver"
Probably including my wife,"
Probably"
'You came over to tell me that, Joe?"
Clapp glanced over his shoulder toward the
kitchen window He leaned toward Steve and
mo. | been thinking. friend. About those
dandelions."
"YeSg
'You know, they do look kind of pretty at
that
The change was barely noticeable at first
1t was a subtle thing, more matter Of what
wasn't done than of what was. The next Satur-
day, for instance, neither Joe Clapp nor Mike
Harris washed their cars. On Tuesday night, even
though the weather was hot and dry, Harry Salter
failed to water his lawn.
On the following Sunday, Charlie O'Brien,
tall, lazy fellow who hated exercise, announced
that he wasn't going to play golf any more. AS
Maureen Harris said to Mona Klein, the closely
knit little community was beginning to unravel
The following day, with the husbands safely at
work, Enid Clapp called an emergency meeting
Betty was invited but her reception was chilly
Enid fixed her with stern glance.
Betty, l consider myself your friend" she told
her, but unless see your husband on his hands

The Women Counterattack

The other women nodded solemnly, agreeing.
Its SYMBOL" Maureen Harris said. IF our
husbands see Steve taking an interest in the COM
munity, they'll 60 back to their old ways"
There's no living with them," Mona Klein
declared. Steve gets away with loafing, so they
want TO, too"
Betty rose to her feet, confronting them. Her
hand trembed little as she put her coffee cup
down.
I'll try, girls. Really will. But Steve is diff
cult. He lust won't understand it's important to
be like everyone else"
When Steve came into the house after work, he
kissed his wife and walked into the living room.
Betty who had intended to be very gentle and
reasonable, pressed her lips together. Steve
looked at her closely.
You're SORE"
mo. No, I'm not sore, Stephen. Just diSap-
pointed"
He sighed, Nov what?"
"You ought to think of me once in a while,
that's ALL
He Jumped to his feet and turned to her. Think
of your he shouted Listen, didn't leave per-
fectly good house and come live in this goldfish
bowl to make you happy? What more do you
want of man?'
She started to shout back at him but then she
looked at him. She came quickly over and put
her arms around his neck.
lust want you to act like the other men,
darling" she told him softly Il want you to quit
trying to beat the system. just want to fit in
Il was more than Steve could take so he put his
arms around her shoulders, and she kissed him.
Then she led him, half triumphant, to the utility
room and put long-handled trowel in his hand.
The door slammed hard behind him.
Enid and Joe Clapp came out into their yard
at once Joe was keeping quiet, but Enid was
bubbling with neighborly good will The Conlons'
yard would certainly look better without those
weeds, she said. 1t was fine thing to see man
take an interest in his home. Steve grunted and
dug out another dandelion, throwing it savagely
at the growing pile. Joe left quickly, making
low Strangling noise in his throat.
Deirdre Ellis, strolling by with her boxer,
smiled.
Maureen Harris called gaily over from across
the street. Rita O'Brien drove slowly past in her
station wagon. Betty watched it all. She could
imagine the cOngratulatory winks tomorrow on
the patio. But something about Steve's bent back
made her walk out to the yard to stand beside
him. He glanced at her YEARLY.
The buzzards have been circling," he NUT
tered. The bue-jeaned buzzards have been fly
ing low"
Her lips frightened. She'd been sorry for him,
but if that was his attitude maybe he deserved to
suffer.
YOU, she said, ''are referring to my friends
She turned on her heel and Stalked back into the
house.
