Dear Abby She falls in love with prison penpal exchanged pictures.

He said he "fell in love with my picture," but after we corresponded a while, he realized he really loved me. I fell in love with him, too, crazy as it may seem. Well, he was released four months ago, and we haven't seen each other yet because I have been putting it off. We live 1,600 miles apart and he offered to send me plane fare, but I've been making excuses such as "I've been sick." The truth is that I've gained so much weight since that picture I sent him was taken, I am ashamed for him to see me. He has a job now and said he would come to see me, but his parole officer says he has to wait a while.

So, for now I am safe. I am 23, and he is 26. I am afraid that if I put him off any longer, I will lose him. Can you help me?

DEAR ABBY: About that wife who complained because her husband showed her no affection after lovemaking: She remarked, "If a man would just take his lady love in his arms and hold her, and maybe give her a little kiss on the nose afterward, it would mean so much." In response, you wrote that you wondered how many women suffered in silence from such a minor oversight. My question is: "Whose oversight is it?" If the lady wants a hug or kiss on the nose, why can't she give HIM one in the hope that he'll respond in kind? Why assume that it's the man's responsibility to know what's going on in the woman's mind? By what mysterious talent are men supposed to know this? If a woman is so stupid that she just suffers in silence, it's no wonder that she doesn't get the kind of attention she wants. I would say, "Do unto A MAN DEAR MAN: My reply was intended to tip off the man who rolls over and starts snoring three minutes after the big love scene.

I've been doing needlepoint for a year, and I find it tremendous therapy for the nerves. (I do crewel and crochet, too.) I still have time to work 60 hours a week, play tennis, chess and backgammon.

Stitchin' Time Oriental look offers sewing excitement By Joanne Schreiber How are you going to get the mysterious East into your fall sewing? The Oriental look is the single clearest fashion message to come out of the new collections. It's Chinese, or Tibetan, or maybe Mongolian, or an enigmatic combination of Far Eastern looks.

But it's good fun and good fashion and will make sewing more exciting than it Has been in years. Where should you start? Try a quilted coolie jacket over matching pants or a sophisticated Mandarincollared jacket over a bare-tohere evening dress. If you favor China, make the pants straight and the trimmings If you prefer the Mongolian effect, add some barbaric trims and tuck your pants into your boots. Side slits are everywhere. Make a slim coat with a frogbuttoned side closing and slit it to show its matching skirt or jumpsuit.

Make a narrow tunic and slit it to show matching trousers. Edge slits with cording. A classic Chinese sheath is a must with its standup collar. By KATHRYN TOLBERT TOKYO (AP) Fashionconscious Tokyo mirrors the clothing trends of the United States and Europe with amazing speed and accuracy, but there are some exceptions. The Chinese look said to be favored in New York and Paris will probably never catch on in Japan.

"Fashion must be something more than life. It must be exotic. Japan is too close to China, so it would be difficult to make the China look fashionable," said Hajime Sakisaka of the fashion research center of one of Japan's major textile manufacturers, Instead, it is the ethnic look from Switzerland and Germany that Japanese women like. Fashion is big business in Japan and the European influence is conspicuous. Every weekend in Harajuku, one of the more fashionable areas of Tokyo, soft rock music flows from the open doors of crowded boutiques and thousands of young women in long skirts or chic overalls and wedged sandals stroll down the wide tree-shaded sidewalks.

Small shops that sell only Japanese clothing have French names, and although Japanese designers are becoming increasingly well known internationally, Christian Dior, Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Cardin are more popular. Japanese designer Hanae Mori's butterfly-splashed clothes that made hers a familiar name in New York are said to be less popular here because the prints are identifiably Japanese. And the Japanese preference for Paris fashion made it necessary for one Japanese designer, Jun Ashida, to make plans to have his clothes manufactured in Paris and then brought back to Japan with "Made in Paris" on the label. Western clothing does not have a long history in Japan.

Only since World War II the last 30 years has Western fashion become a point of interest and study. It has been undertaken with characteristic thoroughness. Blue jeans are the uniform for the classic shirtwaist dresses are a perennial and seasonal fashion changes follow close on the heels of Paris. The full clothing of winter's "big look" has given way to what one of Tokyo's most fashionable department stores calls the "semi-ample" or "controlled look," with below the knee skirts and culottes of flat-woven cotton in earthy colors. They cost between $15 and $30 U.S.

There are no Japanese fashion magazines, but foreign fashion magazines are a regular for beauty salons and bookshop browsers.

Child safety The Coast Guard requires that all boats have a life preserver for every passenger, yet there is no legislation requiring protection for children when riding in cars. A juvenile furniture company has launched a nationwide campaign to inform consumers of the necessity of adequately protecting small children by providing them with a restraint system which has been dynamically tested under simulated crash conditions. It has only been in the last four years that Japanese women have been able to afford to dress with individuality and in a variety of styles, according to one fashion research center. It reports they still are behind the United States.

By 1976 they predict the Japanese average income will reach the 1971 U.S. level and make it possible for Japanese women to coordinate their wardrobes, buy better quality goods and have the leisure time that encourages sewing one's own clothes a practice not widespread here. The French influence is by far the strongest in the Japanese fashion world, but a Tokyo department store opened a Calvin Klein shop in February and it has been averaging $50,000 U.S. a month in sales.

Make it with a raglan shoulder line and temple-bell sleeves. Fabrics can suggest the opulence of the Forbidden City.

Choose rich velvets, damasks and brocades and look for patterns with Eastern motifs. Use wide border and embroidered trims. Lacquered is the word most used for colors. That means bright Chinese reds, jade green, celestial blue, imperial gold and shiny black. If you can't find real silk, use the silk-hand synthetics like qiana nylon.

What if you can't find the right pattern for the new look? Then you have a little designing fun and adapt available patterns. Look for silhouette and basic line and add such details as a Mandarin collar. Coats and jackets should have the dropped or kimono shoulder line. Dresses should have a high armhole with a narrow look about the shoulder. If you are uncertain of your ability to adapt a pattern, get a book on pattern design.

It's not nearly as mysterious as you may think. If you are planning a quilted jacket, quilt the fabric before cutting out the pattern-don't attempt to quilt individual pieces. Back your fashion fabric with a thin layer of dacron batting and line with your underlining material. Vertical quilting has the newest look, though cross quilting is just as authentic. If you are using a patterned material, try your hand at outline quilting.

For added elegance, do your quilting with the new gold or silver metallic thread. To reduce bulk, pull padding away from fabric in seam allowances and darts. The new iron-on interfacings will give necessary stiffness to standup collars. Frog closings and Chinese ball buttons are available in most fabric stores or you can make your own of self-fabric. Complete your new look with accessories such as jade beads, Oriental pendants on silk cords, a long, single strand of pearls, and drop earrings.

Polish your Eastern image with glossy bangs, slanted eyes drawn in with dark eyeliner and blood-red Mandarin-length fingernails. Cultivate an air of mystery, practice your inscrutable smile and learn to cook in a wok. This is going to be the year of the China doll -and it looks like fun. (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.)
