I can holler my head A friend who came here re- cently from Japan said, 'How do American men tell their women apart? They all look alike." Why this craze for same- ness? Are we becoming so neu- rotic we wish to lose our iden- pa Please explain. -- OMNI- Dear Omnibus: There is no explanation for the way women get themselves up, and there never was. In the 90s females suffered tortures in boned cor- sets. They wore tons of hair, layers of underskirts and high buttoned shoes. Style satisfies the woman's need to be "in." In what, ex- actly, no one has been able to say. Dear Ann Landers: I read re- cently that you have received more than 500,000. letters. I'll bet this will be the strangest letter of all. I am he happiest woman in the world. My husband died last month, He finally drank him- self to death. The children no longer look at me with sad eyes and ask, "What is the matter with daddy that makes him so mean?" I no longer have to lock myself and the little ones in the bed- room to protect us against their father's brutality and physical violence. Can you imagine what it does to a 12-year-old boy to be rejoicing. Dear Ann Landers: I sup- pose the solution to my prob- lem has appeared in print some place, but I've never seen it. It is a- headache which many mit I don't know low to cope with it. ' What can I do to get my nine- and 11-year-old children away from the TV set? Their lessons © unfinished. Books. received last Christmas never have been off and it does no good. They watch everything and anything. Getting them to bed at night is a chore, I know they are not getting enough sleep on school nights. Please give me, some help.-- HEAP O'TROUBLE Dear Heap: If the off and on buttons on your set don't work, you can always pull the wall plug. TV viewing should be con- trolled, both in terms of hours spent and programs watched. You wouldn't allow your young- sters to eat garbage would you? Then why let them fill their their heads with it? TV has a great deal to offer children in the way of educa- tional fare, but there is still plenty of junk. Parents who per- mit their kids to look at any- thing and everything are dere- lict in their responsibilities.
