makers. Messrs. Stroud, are showing a choice novelty
that must commend Peel' to those who are blest with
darling babies. The patent improvements consist in
making ths h Ay capable of turning round, irrespec-
tive of the frame, wheels, and handles, the result being
that when it is desirable t , turn the body of the
vehicle you have only to pull the spring connected
to the handle by the leather strap and turn the body
to the required position, where it fixes itself firmly,
thus counteracting wind, rain, dust, ite , from what-
ever quarter arising, thereby thoroughly p-otecring
the child from the most inclement weather. They are
strong and substantial, but very easily propelled and
we learn that their manifold advantages over ordinary
ones have already become so marked that the old.
fashioned carriages are fast becomiug things of the
past. The very pretty show of them at Messrs.
&cods' is well worth • visit to their establishment in
