Alice Hawthorne AKA Septimus Winner

This person wrote Listen to the Mockingbird and How much is that Doggie
in the window (Der Deutsher's Dog on the webpage).  I learned about him
at pdmusic.org,   http://www.pdmusic.org/winner.html which has a lot of
good lyrics and info from the 19th C. American composers.   Anyway, it
just seemed funny that he used a female pseudonym, when women composers
were likely to use a male name to get published.  Of course Mockingbird
is a staple of Old time music, whereas the Doggie is relegated to Patti
Page and Homer and Jethro (Hound dog in the window).  So does anyone
know why he was a musical cross dresser?
