e, but they have her picture, and he takes it
and kisses it and calls her his sweetheart.

Case 10. A little cousin named Blanche when about two years of
age became greatly attached to a man who worked for her father
and lived with the family. He was probably thirty years her
senior. The feeling continued growing stronger for about four
years, when it was broken off by her finding out that he "had
another girl." She told me once that she loved him more than she
did her papa or mamma, and that when she grew up would go and
live with him. When she got presents for any of her friends he
was always remembered. She was very demonstrative, sitting on his
lap and in many other ways showing her feeling for him.

Case 11. A young lady of twenty years and a boy of six. We all
boarded in the same house. He was so attached to her that he
would never go to sleep without kissing her good-night. The very
coldest day in winter if his mamma didn't have his coat and
mittens on him when the bell rang for twelve o'clock or for six
o'clock he would go without them to meet her, for he knew that
she came at that time. He was always asking if she loved him, and
if she would wait until he was a man and marry him. This
continued for nearly three years when, one day, a lady whose hair
was gray called on his mamma. He didn't like her, and after she
left said to the young lady "I won't marry you when I am a man
for your hair will be gray." After that he never cared
particularly for her.

Case 12. I know of one case where a little boy about six years
old fell in love with a lady about twenty years old, and always
used to call her his girl. He used to go and put his arms around
her and kiss her at any time; it did not embarrass him if some
one was looking at him. He is about eighteen now, and seems to
think a great deal of her yet.

stages of its development.

W., 18. I cannot remember a time before I was fourteen years old
when there was not some little boy whom I loved. The first case
that I can recall occurred when I was five years old. I know that
I was five for I have heard my parents say how old I was when
they moved away from that place. After we moved away I never saw
him any more. We came to another town and I started to school
