ived with two women as her wives without
her disguise being penetrated. (Her "Confessions" were published
in the _Day Book_ of Chicago during May, 1914.)

It would be easy to bring forward other cases. A few instances of
marriage between women will be found in the _Alienist and
Neurologist_, Nov., 1902, p. 497. In all such cases more or less
fraud has been exercised. I know of one case, probably unique, in
which the ceremony was gone through without any deception on any
side: a congenitally inverted Englishwoman of distinguished
intellectual ability, now dead, was attached to the wife of a
clergyman, who, in full cognizance of all the facts of the case,
privately married the two ladies in his own church.

When they still retain female garments, these usually show some traits of
masculine simplicity, and there is nearly always a disdain for the petty
feminine artifices of the toilet. Even when this is not obvious, there are
all sorts of instinctive gestures and habits which may suggest to female
acquaintances the remark that such a person "ought to have been a man."
The brusque, energetic movements, the attitude of the arms, the direct
speech, the inflexions of the voice, the masculine straightforwardness and
sense of honor, and especially the attitude toward men, free from any
suggestion either of shyness or audacity, will often suggest the
underlying psychic abnormality to a keen observer.

In the habits not only is there frequently a pronounced taste for smoking
cigarettes, often found in quite feminine women, but also a decided taste
and toleration for cigars. There is also a dislike and sometimes
incapacity for needlework and other domestic occupations, while there is
often some capacity for athletics.

As regards the general bearing of the inverted woman, in its most
marked and undisguised form, I may quote an admirable description
by Prof. Zuccarelli, of Naples, of an unmarried middle-class
woman of 35: "While retaining feminine garments, her bearing is
as nearly as possible a man's. She wears her thin hair thrown
carelessly back _alla Umberto_, and fastened in a simple knot at
the back of her head. The breasts are little developed, and
compressed beneath a high corset; her gown is narrow without the
expansion demanded by fashion. Her straw hat with broad plaits is
perhaps adorned by a feather, or she wears a small hat like a
