ed with judicial criminality. [145] This apparently widespread opinion is represented by the remark of a young man in the eighteenth century (concerning the Lesbian friend of the woman he wishes to marry), quoted in the Comte de Tilly's _Souvenirs_: "I confess that that is a kind of rivalry which causes me no annoyance; on the contrary it amuses me, and I am immoral enough to laugh at it." That attitude of the educated and refined was not probably shared by the populace. Madame de Lamballe, who was guillotined at the Revolution, was popularly regarded as a tribade, and it was said that on this account her charming head received the special insults of the mob. [146] Havelock Ellis, _Man and Woman_, 5th ed., 1915, especially chapters xiii and xv. [147] Karsch (_Jahrbuch fuer sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, vol. iii, 1901, pp. 85-9) brings together some passages concerning homosexuality in women among various peoples. [148] Gandavo, quoted by Lomaeco, _Archivio per l'Antropologia_, 1889, fasc. 1. [149] _Journal Anthropological Institute_, July-Dec., 1904, p. 342. [150] G.H. Lowie, "The Assiniboine," Am. Museum of Nat. Hist., _Anthropological Papers_, New York, 1909, vol. xiv, p. 223; W. Jones, "Fox Texts," _Publications of Am. Ethnological Soc._, Leyden, 1907, vol. i, p. 151; quoted by D.C. McMurtrie, "A Legend of Lesbian Love Among the North American Indians," _Urologic Review_, April, 1914. [151] _Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie_, Heft 6, 1899, p. 669. [152] I. Bloch, _Die Prostitution_, vol. i, pp. 180, 181. [153] Corre, _Crime en Pays Creoles_, 1889. [154] In a Spanish prison, some years ago, when a new governor endeavored to reform the homosexual manners of the women, the latter made his post so uncomfortable that he was compelled to resign. Salillas (_Vida Penal en Espana_) asserts that all the evidence shows the extraordinary expansion of Lesbian love in prisons. The _mujeres hombrunas_ receive masculine names--Pepe, Chulo, Bernardo, Valiente; new-comers are surrounded in the court-yard by a crowd of lascivious women, who overwhelm them with honeyed compliments and gallantries and promises of protection, the most robust virago having most successes; a single day and night complete the initiation. [155] Even among Arab prostitutes it is found, according to Kocher, though among Arab women generally it is rare.
