%X Discusses lesbianism in delinquent girls in reform schools and institutions. Love-affairs arise between white and colored girls, as difference in color takes the place of difference in sex. This love of blacks seems to be a tradition of these institutions, but it confined to a certain set of girls. Fun and excitement have been suggested as possible reasons for indulging in such acts. Such affairs are characterized by loyalty, and animal instincts are paramount. Further, superstitious practices, especially among the colored girls are also prevalent.
