Wornen's Clubs
Friday Morning Club

1.-THE Art of Listening was the subject
of delightful paper read yesterday be-
fore the Friday morning club by Miss
Laura Grover Smith, and to which her
personality gave added charm. Her audi
ence paid her that finest of all tributes
ever rendered a speaker-undivided atten-
tion.
Listening is the Lnest of all arts and
the greatest Of all accomplishments, to
which speaking, oratory and other forms
of expression are but secondary" said
Miss Smith. Like poet, 1t is better to
be born one, but much can be done by
cultivation.
"Dvery kind of modern literature and
journalism, barring fiction, is dependent
on the listener. What is the vast trained
army of reporters standing on the streets
and at our doors but a patient army of
listeners? Our knowledge of the great
world is brought to us every morning
with our coffee and was heard some
where, yesterday or last night, and clicked
off the keys from some hidden corner of
the world And sitting at the telegraph
keys from darkest Africa to the arctic
zone is another army of listeners, the
telegraph operators"
Myths and legends, folk lore, and even
the history of the earlier days were first
told from father to son, and with the
teaching of the Koran in the far east
today, the ancient schools of philosophy
in Athens and the French salons were
cited as examples of the more lasting and
better types of the art, while in contrast
our poor Mother Eve, who listened and
did eat of the fruit, was named as one
of the most notable among the listeners
of the world.
Listening is hearing plus conscious
ness and intelligence, as looking is seeing
plus consciousness and intelligence is
Miss Smiths own definition. She paid a
deserved tribute to the old-fashioned
family doctor, saying that after a man s
mother he was probably the best listener
the world has ever known. The engineer
whose subconscious self listens to the
slightest variance in the heart throbs of
the machinery; his honor the judge, who,
perhaps. represents the highest kind of
listening; the teachers of modern social
ism; he who hears the call of the wild /;
those whose sensibilities are so fine that
they hear with spiritual ears, or they
who listen to the voice of conscioerce-
all these and others were deftly pre-
sented in fine word pictures and received
the approval of the audience
|, The listener with bad manners came in
for gentle scoring. Miss Smith said in
closing:
''The successful man in the word and
of the world today is he who has recog-
nized his cue and answered it at the
proper psychological moment. The world
is always listening. and great movements,
crises and revolutions are but the con-
crete voices of the forces which have
already spoken to the psychic and pro-
phetic ear of the world"
Mrs. Willoughby Rodman closed the
program with a plea that the ladies who
had listened so well to Miss Smith would
prove equally adept in the fine art of
talking, and would be instant in season
ard out Of season in advocating the pro-
posed plans for the city beautiful of
Los Angeles.

COUNCLLMEN GO
TO LIQUOR PLACES
INVITED BY WHOLESALERS TO
SEE FOR THEMSELVES
Autos Will Convey Them from the
City Hall This Morning to the
Leading Bottle Estab-
Iishments

Members of the city council will this
morning be taken in autos to the different
wholesale liquor establishments to see for
themselves how they are conducted.
At the invitation of Counsel Isidore
Dockweiler, representing liquor interests,
it is proposed that the party leave the
city hall at II o'clock and visit establish
ments in the different wards.
When the invitation was given Council
man Healy remarked that he wanted
them to visit other places besides those
on Spring street and parallel streets which
have a monopoly in the downtown dis
tricts.
Councimen Wallace and Dromgold, it
is believed, will not go. The Fifth ward
member has opposed any concessions to
the liquor interests and the First ward
councilman has stated that in his twenty
five years business acquaintance here he
had met most of the wholesalers person.
ally and gained a knowledge of conditions
in their places which posted him on the
subject. =,
The presence of Mr.. Wallace is especially
desired by the liquor men because Of his
opposition to them.
In view of recent drastic action by the
police board and more legislation pending
the owners deem it best that lawmakers
gain personal knowledge of their places
as they would of any other live municipal
subject.
