The Italian woman is warm-hearted, ardent, often violent, able to burst into rage but incapable of holding a grudge once the fury is over. For steady wear, she doesn’t last as well as her French sister, who has more subtlety and more change of pace; but she is an admirable creature, well worth knowing, and it is a shame you aren’t very likely to make her acquaintance.

Women of Europe: Germany

1960s fashions:  London, 1967

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.
