IT ALWAYS PLEASES. 'la:the compartment of the carriage in -which I was travelling to Guildford some years ago (writes a correspondent of the London "Chronicle") was a. woman and her baby. Facing her was an elderly clergyman, who took notice of the infant. He pleased the mother by saying, in admiring tones, "Well, that is a baby!" When the mother left the train, my ifellow-traveller, said, "Whenever I have occasion to talk to a mother concerning her child," I always use that phrase. It pleases the parent, and has the merit of being strictly true." Later on I learned I had been talking to Lewis Carroll.
