her thoughts were much occupied by several women to whom she made advances, which were not encouraged to pass beyond ordinary friendship.  In one case, however, she formed an intimate relationship with a girl somewhat younger than herself, and a very feminine personality, who accepted Miss B.’s ardent love with pleasure, but in a passive manner, and did not consider that the relationship would stand in the way of her marrying, though she would on no account tell her husband.  The relationship for the first time aroused Miss B.’s latent sexual emotions.  She found sexual satisfaction in kissing and embracing her friend’s body, but there appeared to be no orgasm.  The relationship made a considerable change in her, and rendered her radiant and happy.

In her behavior toward men Miss B. reveals no sexual shyness.  Men are not usually attracted to her.  There is nothing striking in her appearance; her person and manners, though careless, are not conspicuously man-like.  She is fond of exercise and smokes a good deal.

HISTORY XXXVI.—­Miss H., aged 30.  Among her paternal relatives there is a tendency to eccentricity and to nervous disease.  Her grandfather drank; her father was eccentric and hypochondriacal, and suffered from obsessions.  Her mother and mother’s relatives are entirely healthy, and normal in disposition.

Her earliest affection, at the age of 13, was for a schoolfellow, a graceful, coquettish girl with long golden hair and blue eyes.  Her affection displayed itself in performing all sorts of small services for this girl, in constantly thinking about her, and in feeling deliciously grateful for the smallest return.  At the age of 14 she had a similar passion for a girl cousin; she used to look forward with ecstasy to her visits, and especially to the rare occasions when the cousin slept with her; her excitement was then so great that she could not sleep, but there was no conscious sexual excitement.  At the age of 15 or 16 she fell in love with another cousin; her experiences with this girl were full of delicious
