Most German women split into two chief physical types. The one which first comes to mind, in response to the word “Teutonic,” is the Brunhilde variety. In youth, you have a splendid creature, blonde, athletic, statuesque, with a figure molded like that on that of a goddess on a ship’s prow. Quite as typical of Germany, however, is the thin type, often brunette, with a wicked gleam in the eye, a twist to the mouth, and an almost viperine quality. Only a hairsbreadth of difference divides some of the women of this group between those of an almost fatally alluring beauty and the most deadly specimens of the race.
