Lamar, J.
There was positive testimony that the defendant was grown and able to work; that she had no visible or known means of a fair, honest, or reputable livelihood; that she was a lewd woman and a street-walker, who loitered around saloons, and did no work. The'fact that during one week'she earned a dollar, and during another twenty-five cents, was no answer to. the general state of idleness in which she was shown to live. Cody v. State, 118 Ga. 784.
