"Torture Instruments 1400-1800," housed deep in the bowels of the foreboding Belvedere Fortress, has attracted 100,000 awed guests since mid-May, far more than most other art houses in the city. The big deal is 84 torture devices, mostly from the Spanish Inquisition, when they were used to keep heretics and sinners in line. Including such gems as a 72-inch saw, racks, cages and spiked chairs, all taken from private collections and from the offices of assistant principals in charge of discipline. Organizers plan to bring it to the United States in 1985 and add old videotapes of "Love Boat" to the collection.

11. Call 221-6800. BY MARY KAY CULPEPPER Enquirer Reporter Between seasons and numbers, overtones and undertones, their approaches differ. But the message of almost all color-consultants-for-hlre is the same: If the hue fits, wear It i "Surrounded by colors that are right for you, you can enhance your personality and bring out your very best at all times," asserts color analyst Judy Merkley. With partner Susan Rainey, she operates Color I Associates Burlington, Ky.

"Each person has a pallette of color that flat- ters his or her complexion and coloring," contend author-analyst Carole Jackson. "When you weir your right colors, they give you that added potential that helps with every aspect of your lifeYou become credible, and people listen to you, compliment you, hire you and maybe even flirt wita you." The idea of keying color to complexion, lifestyle and personality isn't new. In it was created more than 60 years ago by artist Johannes Itten of Germany's legendary Bauhausschool. But techniques like Jackson's, outlined in best-sellers, seminars and consultations, made the theories famous. Jackson's 1981 book, Color Me Beautiful (Bal-lantlne Books), is perhaps the most well-known of the color analysis tomes, but there are others.

In Some Circles, Children Always Square Pegs BY AAARGOT SLADE 1983, N.Y. Times News Service Togetherness Is one thing, but when you find that whither thy friends go their children go too, that's trouble. It's a disaster If they whither everywhere. "My grandmother used to say, 'Children should be seen and not noted Marilyn Schrelber, a partner in a Manhattan lawyer-placement firm. "That's not entirely true.

Occasionally children should not be seen or heard. There are times when parents should not bring their children, when adults should be with adults." "I enjoy my teen-age kids," said Jack W. Mendelson, an engineer. "I enjoy other people's kids. But when I have friends over, after 10 minutes the kids are excused.

I'm not going to entertain them, and I don't want them entertaining me." Many parents do not see it that way. With what seems like increasing frequency, children can be found accompanying Mommy or Daddy or both to weddings, on business trips and to lunch, dinner or a New Year's Eve celebration at a friend's home. Sometimes adult gatherings unavoidably become family affairs; baby-sitters are expensive, assuming parents can find a sitter. At other times, however, the transformation Is avoidable and can be unwelcome. Mendelson, remembering the "unpleasant surprise" of finding an uninvited, unanticipated very young guest on his doorstep, commented that "the least people could do is ask if it's all right to bring their youngsters along, so it isn't an imposition."

90069. Now. By Jim Knlppenberg from staff and wire reports. Inside Royal Flush 3 For the past 10 years, residents of Harveysberg, Ohio, have been struggling to get working bathrooms and running water in their town. They've paid a high price for modern conveniences.

Revue Revival players out of school shows. It was silly." Sabllne doesn't Just look at legs at acceleration and leaps-he looks at eyes. "This might seem strange," he said, "but I found a similarity in the glance of the real soccer players and real dancers. Something happens In the eyes. At auditions, look In the eyes and you Just know it Is an artist, Intelligent, self-assured." Sabllne has mellowed since the days he first switched from dancer to professor.

"At first I was a mean guy, a very mean guy," he said. "I Just disregarded the other dancers and concentrated on the people I saw had the gift. But some with so much talent It's disgusting go nowhere, while others who at first seem untalented persist till eventually you can say they are talented. Sometimes talent is buried by shyness. Now I am careful to give attention to everybody." Sabllne gave a Gallic shrug.

It baffles him that Cincinnati did not support prof esslonal soccer here, that it quickly deserts any losing team. "The number of soccer teams In Cincinnati is absolutely unbelievable," he said, "but somehow soccer is kept like a secret here. I don't know what it is." Could be Cincinnati hasn't yet mustered enough madness. scholarship. Six months later, Dennis was listed on the all-America team.

"The real soccer player is like the real ballet dancer," Sabllne said. "He wants always to play. There is a madness there. The moment the season is over, he loses his mind. It's like a bug." Sabllne dreams of coaching someday a select team of Olympic-quality players, dreams of the return of professional soccer to Cincinnati.

"I like always to think more," he said. "I do the same thing In ballet. I make them believe they can do more, and then they do." He teaches 13-year-olds to execute Pele's mid-air upside-down bicycle kick. Sabllne keeps his soccer drills separate from his ballet drills. At a soccer camp in 1979, Klaas DeBoer of the Detroit Express coaching staff asked Sabllne to show them some ballet stretches.

"They had a ball trying a few steps, and were all surprised at my balance," he said, but later he warned DeBoer ballet technique might stretch soccer players too much. When Sabllne coached soccer teams at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts, he found his dual allegiances, dance and soccer, warring against each other: "SCPA Is an arts school, so there I was, an artist and a dancer, having to fight to get my soccer BY TONY LANG Enquirer Columnist A poster of Pele hangs In Oleg Sabllne's living room. Pele Is the Brazilian soccer great; Sabllne is Parisian-born, a former dancer on the international ballet circuit and now dance professor at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and Cincinnati Ballet. Thwop! Deftly, Sabllne heel-kicked a soccer ball across his College Hill living room, narrowly missing a lamp. "Seven years ago," he said, "I really fell In love with soccer.

It started with my son. At one time, I was coaching three teams and playing on a fourth, so I was keeping four different schedules. But I needed that total involvement, to get the feel of the game." Ask a performer how old he Is, and you get artful evasion; coaches get equally evasive. "I'm. my 50s," Sabllne said, grinning.

His latest venture Is starting a men's team (by invitation only-Sunday hackers need not apply). Sabllne drills his teams in technique. One foreign-student protege, Ekow Dennis, tried to apply for agriculture school at Wilmington College and was refused. So Sabllne asked Wilmington's soccer coach to watch Dennis play. The coach promptly offered him a To close Kenley Players' season, John Kenley himself went rooting through his old steamer trunk and put together a revue that harkens back to vaudeville days.
