CHAMPION U. S. ‘JOINER’ BELONGS TO 49 WOMEN’S CLUBS

Social Life for Wives Is Upheld x By PAUL HARRISON N'EA Service Writer NEW YORK, April 9.—“ Yes, I suppose I am the world’s champion clubwoman. If I belong to more than any woman In New York, and there are more clubs here than in any other city, then it must be so. “But don’t think I’m ashamed of being a ‘joiner.’ In most cases I was an organizer. “Clubs are the finest advantages women have today . . . they’re a college, a finishing school, for women. Clubwomen keep more up-to-date, look better, live longer, are healthier, and take more pride in their homes and their families than their unsocial sisters ..." Mrs. Jack W. Loeb speaking. A new edition of the clubwomen’s register had just showed her to be the clubbiest woman in New York, and she had left an Important meeting to tell about her membership in forty-nine organizations. Always Another Meeting She talked hurriedly, though, and looked often at her watch. For in exactly fifteen minutes she had to dash for another meeting. “Yes, there are forty-nine in all. . . I wasn’t quite sure just how many there were, so I just had my secretary check them up for me. “I suppose you want to know how I find time for them. Well, they’re my career, my life, and I work hard at them . . . three or four meetings a day sometimes. “Committee meetings, too, and papers to be written and social work to be done. I’m an officer of some sort in most of them and president or past president of many. “People say I must have been endowed with unusual vitality. That isn’t true. It’s the work that keeps me on my toes.”

Plenty of Souvenirs Vitality she certainly has, anyway. Small, plump, snowy-haired, her brown eyes sparkle with animation. Her luxurious home off swanky Riverside drive is filled with evidence of her gregariousness. Cups, medals, pictures, diplomas tell how she began clubbing in her girlhood, how she organized the Police Women’s Reserve, how during the war she was the second woman in uniform, worked for suffrage, traveled widely, dabbled in politics. She is the wife of Jack W. Loeb, one-time theatrical partner of William Fox. He is retired now, and spends most of his time at just one club. But he sympathizes with her activities, even admires her political diligence despite the fact that she is an ardent Democrat and he is a Republican state committeeman. Wishes She Had Children “No,” continued Mrs. Loeb, “I haven’t any children. I wish we did. But like all other clubwomen who have none of their own, I’ve devoted a lot of my life to the interests of other children . , . eighteen years of social service work, and I’m president of an orphan asylum auxiliary. “But I think most clubwomen have as many children as other women, and I'm sure they care for them better, on an average. Club work teaches them the best methods of care and training . . . and any womn who neglected her family would be a social outcast with us. “I love my husband and he comes first in my life. Why, I'm even obedient, and proud of it. Busy as f am, I believe I see him more than most women. Always Up at 7 “I’m always up at 7 o'clock, do a little writing, breakfast with Mr. Loeb, and drive downtown. I always call for him in the evenings,

Simple to Lose a Pound of Fat a Day on a Full Stomach

Do Just These Two Simple Things—Fat Melts Away

Here is a quick and easy way to take off a pound a day—four to seven pounds every week!—with never a hungry moment. A way any doctor will tell you is safe and vire. This is what you do: Take a teaspoonful ordinary Jad Salts in glaa. of water half hour before breakfast every morning. This reduces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses your system of the wash matter and excess toxins that moss fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat. Then do this about eating. FILL YOUR STOMACH—eat your fill—of lean meats, vegetables like spinach, cauliflower, cabbage; tomatoes, etc., and lots of salads. Eat a lot. Eat all you can hold. Don’t go hungry a minute. Cut down on butter, sweets

SHE’S ‘CLUBBIEST’ OF ALL

§/ ' HOLDS OFFICE or uF^auSS Mrs. Jack W. Loeb . . . clubs are trumps with her.

| too, and we have dinner together, and generally the whole evening.’’ There is, she admits, not a little ; competition among women “joiners.” But she condemns the movement both for its snobby attitude and its great expense. The average woman, she believes, should be a member of only two or three clubs at the most, and work hard in their interests. Clubs always are trumps in the life of Mrs. Loeb, but not one on her list of forty-nine is devoted to social frivolity such as cards or dancing, though she loves both as pleasures to be indulged privately. Clubs. Are Serious Ones Her organizations are of serious intent—for the study of virtually every subject from the arts to poli- ! tic s, sociology and parliamentary j law. They range from the Ray Current Event Club, Inc., the Portia Club, various foundations and commissions, to the. Godmothers’ League, Life as a Fine Art, and the Women’s Organization for the Free jSynagogue. She long has been a leader in women’s groups seeking civic reform, and is a member of city, state and general federations of women’s clubs. She directs an hour’s program every week on a radio station. In 1918 Mrs. Loeb decided to go to school again, and took a law degree at New’ York university. She was the first woman to present movies for the study of Bible stories, and supervised them for three years in her capacity as chairman of the Council of Jewish Women. Tree Planted for Her She is proud of the fact that a tree already has been planted for her in the honor grove of Central park. “I believe in u’omen. I think they’re Tine . . . they stick together better than men do. Clubwomen really are doing something, and they have something to say. They can talk faster and straighter than men, and have learned to think on their feet,” she declai’es. “They’re better wives and mothers, and pride if nothing else would make them so. They don’t live out

Spring Colors in Your Home Furnishings

NEW YORK, April 9.—Spring’s the time to freshen u]3. Housecleaning time. Time for new clothes. And every woman knows how new, different colors help give a fresh feeling. Fashionable women are putting lots of color into their costumes this spring. And it’s just as important in the home. Lots of color. But lots of harmonized color. Here are the colors used in fashionable homes this season. Not all of them new. But more often than not, there’s anew shade of some well-liked colors. Green has been fashionable for a long time—in rugs, chintzes, glass curtains, furniture covers., It still is—and almost every shade of green. But the newest greens have a distinctly bluish cast that makes them different and lovely. Rust is another color that’s continuing to be fashionable. For two reasons at least. (1) Because it’s a good color to look at and folks like it. And (2) because it combines so well- with the fashionable green. The newest rusts are reddish, rather than orange, so they look fine with the new bluish greens. Brown is rather anew color for home decoration. But it’s growing popular so fast that it’s almost as important in homes as in clothes. Brown generally is used as a

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

CONSIDERING that they believe themselves to be leaders in everything else, it is strange that men feel so little responsibility for marriage. The home may be the woman’s sphere, but it should be obvious that she can not, by herself, make a success of an arrangement that it takes two to complete. Frankly, I do not believe that our present unhappy condition will be improved until men realize that upon their shoulders must rest at least half the responsibility for the family happiness. In past eras, it is true, the wife seemed able to manage a good deal alone. That was because she lived in an enforced state of quiescence. She had no opportunity for any life outside her husband's or her father’s house, and sometimes was obliged to stand for things that no self-respecting woman now would endure. The fact, however, that she was a submissive 'cerature meant that the man was obliged to take precedence in authority, and to act as boss of the home. a tt a TODAY women are at liberty to walk out of an unendurable situation. This provides an entirely new problem. It means that only by intelligent co-opera-tion can marriage succeed. These changed conditions are pretty tough on men who were brought up on old-fashioned doctrines. Nevertheless, they must look facts in the face. It will do no good to theorize on the subject. We shall have to buckle down and work at it. The energy we put into making a go of the local Rotary Club or our literary teas would be amply sufficient to succor marriage. Modern couples have an entirely new situation to cope with. Wedlock is no longer the hit and miss business regulated by God that it once was thought to be. It is still, however, a state necessary to individual happiness and to the progress of the nation, and therefore, should be given some thoughtful study by both women and men.

background color because it sets off brighter colors so smartly. And at the same time it’s a restful color itself. Its best place in the color scheme is in rugs, tapestries, and chintzes. Rose red—the shade you find in oriental rugs—is a fashionable color for draperies or furniture covers. In its lighter tones, it’s again getting fashionable for bedrooms. Then there’s mulberry—ranging all the way from the dark eggplant rugs to the new pinkish orchid you are finding in so many fashionable bedrooms. You’ll notice, if you watch, how pink all the newer orchids are getting. And that makes them warmer than they were when they had a blue cast. More usable, too. Blue isn't being used right now quite as much as other colors. But it is an advanced fashion —one that’s growing. So you can use it with the assurance that you’re just a little ahead of your neighbor ... if the shade of blue is right. The new blue fashion isn’t the dark, rather harsh blue of a few years ago. But a soft French blue. Keep soine statistics on decoration and you’ll find that color fashions go in pairs—a warm color and a cool color being fashionable in pairs. For instance—rust and green are DEAN COULTER TALKS TO SOCIETY Dean Stanley Coulter, Purdue university, was speaker today at a meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Second Presbyterian church at the home of Mrs. Fermoi S. Cannon, 4233 North Pennsylvania street. Assisting hostesses included Mesdames George S. Wilson, P. W. Huddleson, John E. Seybert and A. J. Callaway. MISS GAPPIN BRIDE OF ROY DANIELS Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Dorothy Gappin, 604 East Twelfth street, and Roy Edward Daniels, Oakland, 111., which took place Saturday at the parsonage of the Methodist church in Greenfield. The Rev. Hillis Avery officiated. Miss Loraine Tresnell and Matthew Clarisey attended the couple, who will be at home in Indianapolis.

Once a Month As regularly as tjie months roll around, some women count their time to suffer. Declining invitations they long to accept, because of the time of month. And Midol could make those regular periods absolutely painless! Take a tiny tablet of Midol—and forget the time of month. There will be no interference with the normal, necessary monthly process, but the pain will be gone. Taken beforehand, there will be no pain at all. If you are suffering, Midol brings complete ease in five to seven minutes, Midol is the work of specialists; effective no matter how hard a time you may always have had. All druggists, in trim metal pocket case, 50 cents. Many have found Midol the quickest relief for headaches, neuralgia, neuritis, and other pain.— Advertisement.

fashionable. Rust is warm. Green is cool. Blue and rose were once very much in fashion and are beginning to be again, Blue is cool. Rose is warm. This combination of warm color with cool color gives a nice balance to a room. And a third color, brighter than either but in harmony with both of them, can be introduced in small amounts to make a smart accent. iCoDvright. 1931. by Amos Parrish!
