Peter J. Stcincrohn By DR. PETER STEINCROHN There's a saying that work never killed anybody. But I disagree. Not only can it kill the man, but it can kill spirit and happiness in the wife and home.

A woman doesn't like a beachcomber type of lazy husband who doesn't provide for the family. Neither is she unconcerned about the one who spends most of his waking hours at work. Dear Dr. Stcincrohn: My husband spends far too many hours a day, week, year, on his job. Twenty years ago I went along with it.

I dreamed of the day when he would no longer have to work so haard. We would be free, I thought, to do the things we enjoy. But any hopes for a change dre practically nil. I've been Ion tranqtiilizers for several yedrs in order "to lake it." He worlks harder and longer than ever. We have dinner together only one evening a week.

Any chores around the plaice are taken for granted to be my job. No one can doubt I have been physically overworked for years. The housework is only part of it all. The lawn work is mostly mine. So is the painting and decorating.

Even painting the garage and outside of the house. I even wash the cars whenever I can work in it. Everyone needs someone close to talk to. Usually their spouse. When this becomes something that is saved for vacations, then it is unnatural and unbearable.

I wonder if I should hold out longer until the children are grown up and married. Perhaps we will then be closer together. All I can do now is sign off as (Have Had It). COMMENT: I doubt that the Avenues of Fashion Leather Look Is Good Look By O. E.

SCHOEFFLER Fashion Adviser to Esquire Magazine The tough motorcycle-gang connotation that leather used to have is now a thing of the past. a material for coats and 'jackets, it is still extremely tough, in the sense of long: wearing, but it's being used more and more for elegant, luxurious outerwear. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: I'm planning lo buy a leather coat, but I wonder how practical a choice it would really be. Can it be worn to the office, or is it primarily for weekend or leisure wear? G.G., Plan Spring Wedding MISS JACOBY Mr.

and Mrs. David E. Jacoby, 2141 Norside announce the engagement of their daughter, Pamela, to Corless L. Hungerford son of Mr. and Mrs.

Corless L. Hungerford Fort Wayne, Ind. Miss Jacoby is a 1964 graduate of Alton High School and attended Southern Illinois University. She is employed by Olin Corporation. Mr.

Hungerford is a 1961 graduate of Ashley (Ind.) High School and served with the Army in Vietnam. He is employed by Dana Corporation in Fort Wayne, Ind. The couple plans an early spring wedding. MIRROR OF YOUR MIND By JOHN CONWELL Omaha. DEAR It's a practical choice indeed, and whether you can wear it to the office or not depends entirely on the cut.

Leather is part of the new order of fashion, and you can find it made into coats of the trench persuasion or tailored like a British warm, to give you a couple of good examples. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: How can I keep my leather coat clean, especially the collar, which shows quite a bit of soil? L.M.R., Rochester DEAR L.M.R.: A lot depends on the finish. If it's a smooth leather, like a cabretta, spots can often be sponged off with water. But it really should be professionally cleaned, especially if it is a suede coat.

Wearing a scarf might prevent a good bit of the soil on the collar. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: Does a leather jacket suffer from being worn in the rain? P.F.D., Indianapolis. DEAR P.F.D.: unless it's suede which water spots rather badly. Some people refer to the tailoring racket with the same scorn they use in speaking of the rag trade.

Make no mistake. Tailoring is an art, something it takes years to learn properly. Those of you who complain of the rising price of men's fashion ought to keep that in mind. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: Is Hong Kong tailoring better than the tailoring other parts of the world? N.S.G., Philadelphia.

DEAR N.S.G.: Hong Kong tailors have the reputation for being among the most skillful craftsmen in the world, and it's a reputation that's well deserved. The important thing about tailored apparel, though, is proper fit and style; the first is hard to achieve at a distance, and the second is the product of imaginative design. Hong Kong tailors are best at copying. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: Is an inverted pleat on a jacket functional to any degree, or is it just a fashion gimmick? A.P., Norfolk.

DEAR A.P.: The inverted pleat is completely functional. It opens like a vent and serves the same purpose. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: Is wool "Custom" woven, just as suits' are "custom" tailored? J. S.

Portland. DEAR J.S.T.: Frankly, I've never heard the term used. Handwoven wool is probably the closest equivalent, although some custom designers use exclusive "short lengths" of fabrics wowen especially them by the mills. Like any other area of endeavor, fashion is subject to cisconceptions of various kinds. Most of them stem from outmoded ideas of what is correct and what isn't, and in this case, the winds of change have nearly reached rurricane proportions! Dear Mr.

Schoeffler: I've often heard that the color brown is considered to be exclusively for sportswear by fastidious people, and should never be worn for anything else. Is this true? H.R.W., Baltimore DEAR H.R.W.: It certainly is not. Dear Mr. Schoeffler: Are fake furs really undetectable; that is, is it obvious that they're not the real thing? MjM.K., Lexington. DEAR M.M.K.: To the trained eye, it is obvious, but I don't think it matters.

Some real furs such as natural Mongolian lamb, sometimes look like fakes to my trained eye! Is grammar only for grammarians? Answer: No; proper grammar not only hulp.s transmit ideas with less chance of meaning being misunderstood, it also gives the skilled user of language a boost in self-esteem that comes from confidence in being able to express himself precisely. Rather than being a "purist" in applying the rules of proper usage, the realistic a a i a is somewhat permissive, except in cases where incorrect usage leads lo faulty communications. Does it pay to know psychology? Answer: Yes; if being familiar with the study of behavior will help you to understand yourself and others bettor. Of course, the answer is no if you mean will psychology help you to treat yourself or anyone else without having earned the license to practice psychology. It is like knowing auto mechanics.

A lot of people know how a car runs and how it is put together; but only the skilled can make practical use of that knowledge. Can vcntriloq-uism calm fears? Answer: Yes, and wouldn't you know the Japanese would use it. Dr. Akinori Iwamoto, of Omiya Municipal Hospital, Saitamaken, Japan, saw that his child patients were numb with fear when they appeared for injections. So, being an expert ventriloquist he gets the job done with the aid of an assistant while his patients watch the dummy.

The only lips that move during an injection are the dummy's and maybe the patient's in a smile. To Be Spring Bride Kiiitf features Syndicate, Inc.) Louis C. Weidman of 832 Washington has announced the engagement and approaching marriage of his younger daughter, Diane Sue, to Edward L. Iwerson of Omaha, Nebr. She is also the daughter of the late Mrs.

Wiedman. The bride-elect, a graduate of Marquette High School, is a member of the 1970 graduating class at Creighton University in Omaha. Her sorority is Alpha Sigma Alpha. Mr. Iwerson, son of Dr.

and Mrs. Frank Iwerson of Omaha, attended Regis College in Colorado and was graduated from Creighton University in 1968. The Nuptial Mass will be celebrated in St. Mary's Catholic Church jn Alton on March 30,1970. children leaving the roost will solve the problem.

Often it intensifies it. Have you tried a marriage-counselor? Tranquilizers are certainly not the answer. MEDICALETTES (Replies to Readrs Dear Dr. Stelncrohn: Is there anything that can be done to correct bow legs? I am 26 years old. I am quite desperate.

I am so self-conscious about it, that I even hate to go out of the house. Miss L. COMMENT: Legs have been broken in the operating room, straightened, placed in casts for months. But before I would even consider such a procedure I'd consult with an outstanding orthopedist (bone speciaUst). He will tell you about chances for success, cost, how many weeks of disability, and any other problems.

Dear Dr. Stelncrohn: My husband is 37 years old, slightly overweight, and in pretty good physical shape. He is constantly burping. I have been after him for months to get a thorough checkup, but I'm talking to the wall. Thank you for any light you may be able to shed.

Mrs. W. COMMENT: Before you go through an expensive series of rays and other tests, ask your family doctor to check on whether or not he is an air- swallower. Many people unconsciously keep swallowing air and keep burping like your husband does. Stop air- swallowing; presto! burps disappear.

For Mrs. The normal blood sugar ranges from 70 to 120. But like temperature, pulse, and blood pressure normals, these figures may vary. For example, a pulse rate of 60 may be normal for one man, while 75 is normal for another. Let your doctor "read" your blood sugar tests and decide whether or not they are normal.

Worried? Read Dr. Steincrohn's booklet, "What to Do for Chronic Anxiety." Send 25 cents in coin and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to him, care of Alton Evening Telegraph.

MISS WIEDMAN Polly's Pointers By POLLY CRAMER DEAR POLLY My Pointer is for making a "quickie" buttonhole for some place that does not merit a lot of time being spent on it.

Press ovals of iron-on mending tape on the right and wrong sides of the fabric where the hole is to be Stretch this part taut over a drinking glass and slit to the desired width of the buttonhole with a razor blade. Can be done in a jiffy Thanks for all the Pointers, as I read them all and use quite a tew. MRS. N. J.

DEAR GIRLS This would be a great idea for beach robes or costumes children need for holiday parties or school plays. OLL Polly's Problem DEAR POLLY After all the perfume in my atomizer was used, I could not get rid of that particular odor and other perfume put in it smells strange. I have tried soaking the atomizer but that does not help Is there any way to get rid of this odor? JULIE B. DEAR POLLY It is furnice-filter changing time and I have a great use for the metal portion that is on both sides of the discarded filters. They are easily removed, washed in suds, then crushed to use for flower anchors in vases Since they have either a gold- or.

silver-look, they are much more attractive-looking than the usually used chicken wire. MRS. J. S. DEAR POLLY Ruth probably can take the shine out of her black crepe blouse by going over it with a sponge wrung out of hot vinegar water and then iron on the WRONG side C.

L. DEAR GIRLS Always test the effect of any remedy on an inconspicuous spot before plunging in. Modem fabrics can be tricky and are not always wbat we think they are.
