Hamburg. Germany, has decided who
owns the pearl.
A young woman who was eating oys

worth $3.50. Naturally. she claimed It
A young man who had paid for the
young woman's oysters vas gallant
enough to support her claim. Find
ing's keepings" seems TO he a rule
peculiar to no country.
But the hard-hearted restaurant
keeper wanted the pearl. too. So he
sued to recover II. II the chicken
bones belonged to him, why not the
oyster shells-and this particular
pearl?
When the Hamburg case came tc
trial the court held that the disputed
pearl belonged neither to the young

aurant-keeper who sold the oysters
BY right 1t went to the young mar
who paid for the oysters. As he had
already declared that It belonged tc
his fair companion. he was doubtless
logical enough to give It to her and
she grateful enough to take 1t and
him. Romance has It's requirements
as well as law.
The doubt remains whether the
lawyers may not have taken the pear
for their pay and left the litigants the
empty shell.
