AN IMPASSE
HUSBAND, WIFE AND DOG Zoltan Sarkany, a Budapest wholesale . merchant, recently filed a petition for divorce on the ground that both he and his wife had outgrown their affection after two years of marriage. It appeared, however, that neither the petitioner nor his wife had outgrown their affection for a Dobermann dog to which both were equally devoted. As the Sarkanys were unable to decide on the fate of the dog, which they desired to be legally included in the verdict, they were obliged to postpone the making absolute of the divorce until some agreement could be arrived at. The citation of a similar problem in a Berlin newspaper eventually caused the husband to propose that the dog should remain his property, and be lent to the wife for’an hour on one day of each. week. The wife retorted with the counter-proposition that the dog should remain in her possessioii, and be lent to the husband for several hours at a' time on several days of the week. And on this arrangement the divorce was finally concluded.
