I thought we had a bad connection, all I could hear was "Harrumph! Harrumph!" My dad had just turned 60, the age when he should be toddling off to warmer climates with a lifelong companion. Instead, he was divorced, lonely and called frequently. City, Ulan 04 110. Objective of book right fit in clothing is A-- ll rt " Once he realized I wasn't going to launch into a lecture shock or hysterics. he happily chatted. I tried to match his enthusiasm, but everytime I asked about the bride, he har- rumphed. We played 20 questions and I did determine that she definitely was bigger than a bread box. I turned to the subject of age. "Yes" Daddy conceded, "She is a bit younger. I started out easy with 3. 4, 5 and 10. one year, two years I I tried 13, 14 12, 11, again went for the biggie . 20? She was now going below my age. Where was I? Oh, yes . . she was 25 years younger? 30? 35? 40!? Unless he was going to carry her to the alter in a receiving blanket, this had better be it. Yes, that was it, give or take a few years. It was take She was only a mere 41 years younger Harrumphing Again Daddy was harrumphing again. . Was there more to this story? No he was concluding the conversation. I wished him happiness, said goodbye, and sat back to eat my (interrupted) ... . . . . breakfast and watch General Hospital, where life was light and uncomplicated Several months later, I made a surprise visit to see my father and his bride We were all surprised They were rushing out the door, so I went with them 1 found I didn't have to worry about what to call her as she neither spoke nor understood English. I had several hours to get to I held her know my hand while Daddy translated my words into Spanish. "Breathe deep that s it now relax No, you don't have to go to the bathroom, it's just pressure from " bearing down Daddy had obviously harrumphed around telling me this one minor detail. He had known that she was expecting when he agreed to marry her and seemed thrilled with the beautiful baby girl. step-moth- . Counseling Session Before returning home, I took Daddy aside, harrumphed (daintily), and broached the subject cf birth control. I described some of the modern-damethods pills' and gadgets. He seemed very interested and quizzed me on the details. I felt I had accomplished my goal y tered the three techniques described. Students were their guinea pigs. Working together, the two authors said, wasnt always easy. There were a lot of hashing out. disagreements The book, they said, is better for it. Excited at the book's final publication, the reward for their effort has already been realized because of the books use in classroom instruction. When these young girls, who could easily walk into any store and purchase any article of clothing off the rack, comment on how comfortable clothes are, their you know what you have done has to be right, Mrs. Liechty said. stresses, fitters and tailors. Individualized fitting and pattern alteration are two of the most frustrating tasks in clothing construction, the two said. This frustration, they explained, is due to inadequate source materials on the subject. A fine tailor, the two suggested, knows how to alter to get the correct fit. But it hasnt been written.

"Each method has been thoroughly tested. Each works. The person who uses the book can choose which of the three methods, "slash,'' "seam " andor pivotslide that works best. In an interview with two of the authors (Mrs. Rasband is currently residing in Germany), they talked about the book, how it came to be written and who will use it.
