! The Daily Round 1 1

Duchess Prepares for Australia The Duchess of Kent, who is .'aid to be as delighted' as the Duke at the prospect of going to Australia next year, is now beginning to tackle the problem of her wardrobe while in the Southern Hemisphere, states an exchange. Already she has had several conferences with her milliners and dressmakers, to explore the possibility of their making special efforts to supply her, first with an extensive wardrobe of advance fashions to take with her to Australia, and. secondly, with a constant influx of new models from London throughout her time in the Commonwealth.

What complicates this second plan is the diametrical difference in the seasons between Australia and the Mother Country, as a result of which Christmas occurs in midsummer. For this reason, any gowns or hats designed and made for the Duchess in London would have to be six months or more—to allow for the time of transit —in advance of the already "advance" fashions in London, a task which is calculated to give even the astute heads of the fashion houses a good deal to think about.
