The patient's heterosexual history is one long narrative of definite stupidity. Realizing her homosexual tendencies and fearing them, sho embarked upon a futile and mad career of promiscuity and drunkenness. When she wasn't seeking an escape from homosexuality in the embraces of some man, she was seeking it in alcohol and often she sought it simultaneously in both. She tells us that she had sexual relations with more than 300 men. She made a failure of marriage, she contracted gonorrhea, she was in and out of jails and hospitals, all to escape the stigma of being called a Lesbian. In trying to avoid the accusation of homosexuality she became lower and more despicable than any homosexual. Homosexual from the first, she was

the last to admit it.
