She had had
slight brain trouble as a child, and was very intelligent, with a
too active brain; in her spare time she had written stories for
magazines. The two girls became attached through doing Christian
social work together in their spare time, and resolved to live as
husband and wife to prevent any young man from coming forward.
The "husband" became a plumber's mate, and displayed some skill
at fisticuffs when at length discovered by the "wife's" brother.
Hence her appearance in the Police Court. Both girls were sent
back to their friends, and situations found for them as
day-servants. But as they remained devoted to each other
arrangements were made for them to live together.
Another case that may be mentioned is that of Cora Anderson, "the
man-woman of Milwaukee," who posed for thirteen years as a man,
and during that period lived 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.
