the boy
began to hate her as extremely as he had formerly loved her.

Case 7. A little girl three years of age claimed me as her lover.
Whenever I called on her parents she rushed to me and wanted me
to hug and kiss her, and was never backward in doing her part. If
at any time I did not notice her solicitations she would turn
away from me and, going to some remote corner of the room, would
cry as if her little heart would break. Jealousy was very
prominent in her.

Case 8. A little girl three years old and a young man between
twenty-five and thirty. It has continued now for about six or
eight months and is mutual. The little girl says she is going to
marry Mr. ----, and he says he wishes he could find a big girl
that he thought as much of or that she was a young lady. She is
very careful to always be nice in his presence. Will sit on his
lap and love him, and seems happier than with any one else. She
will ask her mamma "When will Mr. ---- come to see me?" One day I
met him and he told me to tell her that he would be in that
afternoon. I did so, and she was very much delighted--ran and
told the other members of the household. She seated herself in
the parlor and would look at her clothes and brush them and sit
in as prim a position as possible. She seemed to want to look her
best. Her kindergarten teacher tried to coax her to go to her
room; she said, "Oh no, Mr. ---- is coming to see me," and would
ask impatiently when I thought he would come. She acted the same
when alone or with others. She was very jealous, and never wanted
any other lady to sit nearer him than she was. She would often
say "He is mine." She did not object to gentlemen sitting by him.
No gifts on either side.

Case 9. Last October a boy of four met for the first time a young
lady of eighteen. He at once became strongly attached to her, and
during the week they spent visiting the same family he was almost
constantly at her side. He would sit on her lap with his arms
around her neck, and sometimes shyly kiss her. He would leave his
mother and go with the young lady in preference. He wanted to be
doing everything that she did. The older boys teased him, but he
did not care. Said she was his girl, and always would be. He
cried for her to go with him when he went home. He has not seen
her since that tim
