Let \({\mathcal H}^*\) denote the known class of harmonic sense-preserving univalent functions \(f\) of the form \[ f=h+\overline g,\;h(z)=z+ \sum^{+ \infty}_{n=2}a_nz^n,\;g(z)=b_1z+\sum^{+\infty}_{n=2}b_nz^n,\;0\leq b_1 <1,\tag{1} \] \(z\in\Delta: =\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}\) and such that \({ \partial \over\partial \theta}\arg(f(re^{i \theta}))\geq 0\), \(z=re^{i\theta} \in \Delta\). The authors consider the class \({\mathcal V}_{\mathcal H}\) of functions \(f\) of the form (1) such that there exists \(\varphi\) so that, mod \(2\pi\), \[ \alpha_n = (n-1)\varphi\equiv \pi,\quad \beta_n+(n-1)\varphi \equiv 0,\quad n\geq 2,\tag{2} \] where \(\alpha_n=\arg a_n\), \(\beta_n=\arg b_n\) and the class \({\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal H}^*}={\mathcal H}^* \cap {\mathcal V}_{\mathcal H}\). In this paper they obtained necessary and sufficient coefficient conditions, distortion theorems and extreme points for the class \({\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal H}^*}\). In the last section the authors extended these results to the functions with varying arguments that are starlike or convex of positive order. For example in Theorem 2.1 we have: If \(f=h+\overline g\in {\mathcal V}_{\mathcal H}\), then \(f\in{\mathcal V}_{{\mathcal H}^*}\) if and only if \(\sum^{+ \infty}_{n=2} n(|a_n|+ |b_n|)\leq 1-b_1\).
