Miss Schenck Unable to Stop the Ma
chinery Set in Motion.
NEW YORK. March 9.-Miss Nathalie
Schenck's endless chain is still as endless as
ever. Every Monday morning, even now, the
postman drops from forty to fifty letters at
the door. and on other days in the week
there are anywhere from fifteen to twenty
five.
Miss Schenck's endless chain was started
last summer when the sick and wounded be-
gan streaming home from the Santiago cam
paign. She thought it would be a worthy
charity to supply iceg.to them, and at the
time calculated that about $4,000 would buy
all the ice necessary
So, in the enthusiasm Of her idea, Miss
Schenck sat down and wrote four letters,
each one to a friend She asked them to
send dime to her, and for each one to write
the same number of letters to other friends.
They did so. and the next day the dimes
began coming. The endless letter chain
has brought inss25, GOO, all of which has been
turned over to the Red Cross.

InIaId wood Work

Inlaid wood work has long been one Of the
fine arts. The richness and beauty Of the
palaces of royalty are measured largely by
the amount and character of inlaid wood
work put into the finish Of the apartments
No better idea could be obtained Of the
high degree which has been reached In this
art than by an examination of the sleeping
and buffet library cars on the Milwaukee's
Pioneer Limited train running daily between
the two cities and Chicago. Lovers of the
beautiful would be repaid by an inspection
OF these truly wonderful passenger cars
The inlaid wood work In the private COM
partment sleepers on this train is equal to
that on the most dainty jewel casket
