He's good-looking with a terrific build, caring, doesn't drink or chase around with other women, hardworking, and in fact, fairly wealthy (he makes an upper-middle-class income). My problem is that I just don't feel like I love him.

All correspondence is confidential. Abby, I have friends who would love to have my dream house, my husband, my car and my extra spending money. Should I stay with him just because it's such a good arrangement, or should I leave him to find someone who gives me that "in love" feeling that I've been missing? Love-starved. Dear Love-starved: It all depends on what you have going for you. As my sainted grandmother used to say, "Don't throw away cake to start looking for crumbs."

But then, I knew zippo about publishing, too." He decided to put the store on the first two floors and installed a spiral staircase to connect them. Such authors as Donald Westlake, Brian Garfield and Justin Scott helped build the bookcases that line the rooms frem floor to ceiling. Penzler and his fiancee, now wife, Carolyn, plotted the opening day party for a Friday the 13th, in April 1979 except they had no money to feed their guests. "That's how broke we were," he said, taking ani-other swig of champagne. "Then we remembered we had this piggy bank filled with quarters.

We raided the piggy bank for $350 and bought champagne and raw vegetables." i So much for the food. Now the weather. i "It had been raining," he recalled. "It was supposed to rain that Friday, too. Carolyn went to church that night to pray for good weather.

The deal was that if we got good weather, I'd go to church with her." It was a dark and stormy night on Thursday, Penzler says, but "Friday, the sun was shining. It rained the rest of the weekend. It was the closest thing to a miracle." Author Isaac Asimov was there to sign books, and the line was such that even Asimov couldn't get in when the doors first opened. More than 10 years later, the graystone is a bookshop landmark in Manhattan, crammed with first editions, hard-cover books of every publisher, with the ground floor devoted to paperbacks. It even has a West Coast affiliate.

Meanwhile, the boom in crime fiction in the 1980s propelled Mysterious Press into the commercial field with great success. In 1985, the company hooked up with Warner Books for sales and marketing. Its writers now include some of the best-known 'in the field: Westlake, Garfield, Ross Thomas, Ruth Rendell, James Ellroy, Ellis Peters and Charlotte MacLeod. The mystery boom has flooded the field with offerings, many of them worthless, says Penzler. "I publish the good ones," he says with an impish half-smile.

i By Marlene Aig The Associated Press NEW" YORK The only thing missing from Otto Penzler's parlor office is the body with a knife protruding. The high windows, huge carved desk, book-lined shelves, leather armchairs and skull could come straight from the pages Qf a classic whodunit. It's a fitting setting for the gray-haired, gray-bearded occupant. For here is where the 48-year-old Penzler functions as mystery mogul, head of Mysterious Press and major domo of the Mysterious Bookshop, which operates out of the first two floors of a six-story Manhattan graystone. A lifelong mystery reader and collector, Penzler sips champagne while recounting how he turned his private passion into a profitable career.

He initially was concerned about the low estate of the mystery genre mostly cheap paperbacks, frowned upon by the world's literati. "I wanted mysteries to be presented in a better fashion treated with more respect," he said. The former sportswriter, former newswriter, former lot of things, decided to do it himself, even though he knew nothing about publishing. Fine binding, better covers, a little gold here and there. Dress these books up, he thought "I figured the accoutrements of fine books could elevate the critical opinion of mysteries," he says.

It was supposed to be fun, he recalls, a hobby. Not a career. That was in 1976, and the little lark has turned into a golden goose. Penzler initially did fine limited editions of mysteries. He had the books printed, wrapped them in his Bronx apartment and mailed each one himself.

Before long he realized the apartment was too small and the one-man-band approach too inefficient for the business Mysterious was doing. He looked around and bought the graystone on West 56th Street. Now he had space to spare, and someone suggested opening a bookstore. Penzler's reaction: "Wouldn't it be fun to run a bookshop?

8 at Doctors' Hospital in Dallas after a sudden and brief fight against lung cancer. He was 57. Jacoby was the ninth-ranked Grand Master of the World Bridge Federation and the fifth-ranked Life Master in the American Contract Bridge League, with more than 25,000 points. In 1988, he won the Top 500 title for the most master points collected during the calendar year, with a total of 2,223.15. Jacoby took over the NEA column from his father, bridge pioneer Oswald Jacoby, who died in 1984.

It is syndicated by NEA to several hundred daily newspapers, including The Arizona Daily Star. Working together, father and son devised and popularized two bidding conventions: the Jacoby Transfer Bid and the Jacoby Two No-trump Forcing Major-Suit Raise. Both are used by bridge players worldwide. James Jacoby graduated from Notre Dame and became a stockbroker, but his lifelong interest was bridge. He started winning national titles in 1955 at the age of 22, in partnership with his father.

The son went on to earn a total of 15 national team titles and one national pair title; he was a runner-up 14 times. He was known even more for his world championships. Jacoby was part of the Aces team that won the Bermuda Bowl world title for the United States in 1970 and 1971. The previous such victory by a U.S. bridge team was in 1954.

The Aces were a professional team formed and sponsored by the late Ira J. Corn and based in Dallas. Jacoby won the World Mixed Teams title in 1972 in Miami Beach, tricks would be taken by dummy's remaining A-Q-9 of clubs. 1963 (St. Vincent, Italy) and 1973; (Guaruja, Brazil); the Team Olym-i piad in 1972 (Miami Beach); the Open Pairs in 1966 and the Mixed Pairs in 1978 (New Orleans).

Jacoby believed in promoting the game of bridge. He served several times on the American Contract Bridge League's board of and he was a past president of the Dallas Bridge Association. He often gave speeches to organizations such as the American Bridge Teachers Association. Away from the bridge table, he was an expert backgammon had a love of sports, and was an aficionado of opera. i Jacoby, who lived in Dallas, is sur-J vived by his wife, Judy; a son, Jim of New York; and a brother, Jon, of Little Rock, Ark.

For the next several weeks, NEA will continue to issue bridge col-; umns that Jacoby wrote before his death.
