life. Some even believe that be-

divided his time between BuenOs

known that compared to other

and Laravlere were no longer

BY RUTH MILLETT

Ten years ago she got a divorce.
She had to; her pride wouldn't let
her 60 on living with a man she
knew was unfaithful to her.
Her pride wouldn't let her take
alimony, either. So she started out
at IS to support herself and her
child.
Today, the husband she divorced
is remarked and his second wife
has most of the luxuries of life.
But things aren't going so well
for the woman who ten years ago
put her pride above everything
else. She has never been able to
support herself and her child well.
It's Still a Tough World -.
And things are getting tougher,
for she is now As and the compe-
tition gets keener every year. She
works hard at a small, not even
secure job; she is worried con-
stantly over how little she is able
to do for her child. And when the
days work is done, there is the
job of housekeeping to face at
night.
There's not much pride left, TO,
she has been kicked from pillar te
post and pushed around as only
little people without great ability
or exceptional brains are pushed
around in a big city.
Il The gesture she made ten year
ago was a splendid gesture-one to
