Social Life
for Vices
Is Upheld
By PAUL HARRISON
EEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, April 9-"Yes, I
~ suppose I am the worlds cham
pion clubwoman. If I belong to
more clubs 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
was an organizer.
Clubs are the finest advantages
women have today they're a
college, 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 IN
social 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 member
ship 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
wasn't quite sure just how
many there were, so just had my
secretary check them up for me.
Il suppose you want to know how
I find time for them. Well, they're
my career, my life, and 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 en-
dowed with unusual vitality. That
isn't true. It's the work that keeps
me on my toes"
Plenty of Souvenirs
Vitality she certainly has, any
way Small, plump, snowy-haired,
her brown eyes sparkle with ami
nation. 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,
travelled widely, dabbled in politics.
She is the wife of Jack w Loeb,
one-time theatrical partner of Will
liam Fox He is retired now, and
spends most of his time at just one
club
But he sympathizes with her &C
tiyities, even admires her political
diligence despite the fact that she
is an ardent Democrat and he is
Republican state committeeman.
Wishes She Had Children
NO" continued Mrs. Loeb. Il
haven't any children I wish we
did But like all other clubwomen
who have none of their own, I've
devoted lot Of my life to the in
terestS of other children eight
cen 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.
Il love my husband and he comes
first in my life. Why, I'm even
obedient, and proud of it. Busy as
I am, ] believe I see him more than
most women.
Always Up at
I'm always up at 7 o'clock, Go a
little writing, breakfast with Mr..
Loeb and drive downtown. I al
ways call for him in the evenings,
