LADY SWIMMERS.
The acquirement of the art of swimming has increased amazingly amongst women of late years, and it is a notable fact that not only can our own tiueou swim, but so also can all her daughters. The Princess of Wales, all her three daughters, and the Princess May are also swimmers. In fact, all the Princesses Royal are good swimmers, and love the art in a greater or less degree. Perhaps the greatest of all lady swimmers is the Empress of Austria, who at one time revelled in all manner of clever natatory tricks. All tho Princesses of the Austrian reigning family can swim, as can also the Empress of Germany and the sisters of the Emperor. Although swimming amongst women is practically unknown in lazy Spain, the present Queen Regent can do all manner of feats in tho water.
