TUCKETT, Justice. In 1965 the plaintiff initiated these proceedings seeking a divorce from the defendant and also praying that she be awarded

parties be sold and that the equity be divided equally between them. The court also awarded to the plaintiff the household
furniture and equipment, and the proceeds from the sale of certain shares of stock owned by the parties were apportioned equally
between them. The plaintiff was also awarded the sum of $650 as attorney's fees and costs.
