Elliott, C. J.

Appellant sued for a divorce; the appellee ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍filed a cross bill and the divorce was granted to him.

The appellant clafms that the alimony allowed her ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍is insufficient. The amount to be allowed as alimony is very much within the discretion of the ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍trial court, and this court will interfere only in cases where the discretion has been abused. Powell v. Powell, 53 Ind. ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍513; Conn v. Conn, 57 Ind. 323. We have looked into the evidence, and are satisfied that there, was no abuse of ‍‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‍the discretionary powers vested in the court below.

Judgment affirmed.
