Head Matter:
Henry Thomas MANNING, Appellant, v. Virginia Elnora MANNING, Appellee.
No. DD-458.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Oct. 24, 1977.
Rehearing Denied Dec. 20, 1977.
John Peter Kirtz, Jr., Pensacola, for appellant.
Louis K. Rosenbloum, of Levin, Warfield, Middlebrooks, Graff, Mabie, Rosenbloum & Magie, Pensacola, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant's appeal from the final judgment of dissolution is affirmed in all respects with the exception of that portion of the judgment allowing the wife permanent alimony. We note from the record that the parties were married for ten years prior to dissolution, and had two children, ages seven and nine. The wife was awarded custody of the children and the husband is directed to pay $110.00 per week for support of the two minor children. The wife is 29 years of age, in good health, and has a high school education. While she has not worked for some time because of her efforts in raising her children, she was employed for a while during the outset of the marriage as a cashier and store clerk. We are of the opinion the interests of the parties would be best served by the court considering an award of rehabilitative, as opposed to permanent, alimony. See Fitzwater v. Fitzwater, 296 So.2d 74 (Fla. 1st DCA 1974). This cause is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
AFFIRMED IN PART AND REVERSED IN PART.
BOYER, Acting C. J., and MILLS and ERVIN, JJ" concur.
