"I got work in a department store and discovered that either I bad to steal to get presentable clothes, or accept tho proffered friendship of men inside and outside the store. Tho wages 1 was able to earn amounted to a grim joke. As against the men 1 chose to become a thief, and while I am 'down and out,' as they say on the street. I prefer jail to some other things. I believe that 1 have a chance for better things when prison days are over. "I have spirit and some honor, the best kind, left. No prison can take those from me.
