o a young gentleman. He laughingly
said to the child "I will wait for you." She did not forget the
remark, but looked upon him as her ideal. Every act of friendship
between him and other lady friends was noticed with a jealous eye
by the child. The young man travelled through the West, and while
there met a lady who later became his wife. When the child
learned this she was very angry and hated the lady. She did not
feel differently about it until she was grown.

Case 4. A girl ten years old became very fond of a young man of
nineteen while they both were attending school. She would wait
for him to walk home with her from school. She took great pride
in her personal appearance, and would always wonder if it would
please him. This affection lasted through one winter and the next
summer. After that the girl seemed to care for the boys of her
own age.

Case 5. The last year I taught there were two little boys,
Lambert, aged seven, and Frank, aged six, who fell in love with
me. Lambert was very demonstrative when alone with me or when
only grown folks were around, but did nothing in the presence of
his schoolmates. He would put his arms around me, kiss me, and
was very happy when he could sit on my lap. He gave me very few
presents, but dearly loved to be with me, and often asked me to
wait until he grew up so that he could marry me. He very
frequently told me how much he loved me, and would ask me if I
loved him, and if so whether I loved him more than I did others.
Frank was very bashful, and though he would stay near me, would
never come very close. He would watch my actions very closely,
and tried to please me in every particular. Nearly every day in
spring he would bring me a bouquet either of wild or tame
flowers. Quite frequently he brought me fruit. If he had only one
apple or banana he was never satisfied until I had taken a bite.

Case 6. A boy about ten years old loved a young lady of twenty
during two years. Jealousy conspicuous. Expressions of love in
the giving of small gifts, such as fruit, flowers, etc. Actions
of the boy quite free and gallant in the presence of others. No
tendency to withhold demonstrations and be satisfied with love at
a distance. On the contrary, he seemed to seize every opportunity
to show the lady attention. At about twelve years of age
