Two well known aristocratic women
from. Vienna. staying at Evian-les-
Bains, had an argument as to whether
or no woman who fell into the water
In full walking costume would be aided
or impeded by her clothes. Argument
soon led to dispute, and dispute to wa
ger. with the result that the two ladies,
In smart summer frocks. lace petticoats
and picture hats, jumped straightway
into the water to test their opinions
The onlookers, thinking that they
were witnessing double suicide,
dashed off in boats to the rescue. The
women, however. declined assistance
until they had pluckily swan consid-
cradle distance and were almost
drowned by their clinging garments.
They both agreed after reaching the
shore that skirts are not conducive to
easy swimming, while corsets were an
