ROYAL TOUR.

HATS FOR THE DUCHESS. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, January 4. The Duchess of York's hats Include fifteen planned by herself, and made by a girl milliner, formerly employed by a firm which supplied most of the Duchess’s trousseau, and who lately set up in business for herself. AVith the milliner’s help the Duchess planned her hats to wear with hot weather frocks. They are mostly of crinoline straw, in white, pink, or blue, and of a shape which her royal highness prefers, namely, wide at the sides, upturned in front, with an arch shaped brim, and usually just simple flower or feather ornamentation. None indicate any startling changes in fashion. DISTINGUISHED SEAMEN. ON R.ENOAVN’S STAFF. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Sydney “ Sun ” Service.
