Well, did you know that there is a new federal law, “The Fair Credit Billing Act” which says that your complaints must be answered. If you think you have been billed the wrong amount, have been charged for products you didn’t buy or were never delivered, didn’t get credited for a payment you sent, or think that any other billing error has occured, here’s what your rights are: Once you have notified the credit card company in writing, the company must within 30 days acknowledge that it has received the complaint. Within 90 days, it must either correct the You Heard? By Doris Thomas mistake or send a written explanation as to why the original bill was correct. During this 90 day period, you do not have to pay any of the amount that is in dispute or any finance charge on this amount. The company cannot close your account or give a bad report on you to a credit bureau during this period. If the company doesn’t follow these regulations, it forfeits the amount disputed up to $5O whether a billing error has been made or not. Do Your Pants Smile? It looks like pants are really in to stay, lie fashion picture for spring has in cluded them in all types of fabric and styles. I believe, however, that we should really work on the fit. If your pants are smiling or frowning, there is something wrong. Pants that “smile” in the front are too tight across the thighs. Frowns on pants in the bade are caused % not having enough seat room. Tn </ ■ To alter a pattern for full I f\ Y r\ thighs, add V*” to to the _ front at the inner leg, CLASSIFIED beginning at the crotch. Taper the addition to zero Aftl about 7” down the inner leg. r\u ■ If your thighs are full to the knee, do not taper to zero until 1” beyond the knee. This will give additional room for the thigh and prevent pants from riding up while sitting or walking. “Frowns” on the back of pants mean more crotch depth or sitting room is needed. Every’ woman has a different shape derriere, so the pattern's crotch curve won’t necessarily fit everyone. Add Vt” to %” to the back pattern piece of the inner leg, beginning at the crotch. Taper the addition to zero about 7” down the inner leg. In addition to this crotch depth alteration, you may find it necessary to deepen the crotch curve. This gives additional sitting room and keeps the pants from riding down in the back when you sit down. Begin deepening the crotch seam in back at the crotch and lower the crotch curve about for about 1 Taper back to the original sewing line.
