TO BREAK AN
ENDLESS CHAIN

When Mrs. Mark J.. Abrahams. OF No /
107 East Eightieth street started an end /
less chain" abSit a year ago. for the ben |
eft of her pet charity, she didn't realize
what difficulties she was getting into says
the New York World.
Now she begs anyone receiving chain
letter. asking aid to the extent Of dime
for the new building which the Hebrew
Infant AsyuD is erecting, 10 burn. bury
or otherwise annihilato said letter, but
under no conditions TO send it on, or send
any lO-cent pieces to the asylum.
Last March," said Mrs. Abrahams re-
Gently, Il started the chain with the best
Of motives. I am vice-president Of the
Hebrew Infant Asylum Of this city. and
have long been interested in the work it
is doing When 1 discovered that funds
were imperatively needed for the new
building ON Kngsbridge road I wrote to
five OF my friends a letter which read
"The Hebrew Infant Asylum of this city
Is erecting a new $4,000 building and Is
In need of funds to complete it. VIII you
send tho sum Of 10 cents to Mrs. NJ t.
Abrahams, No iO7 East Eightieth street.
assist this worthy charity and also copy
this letter and send it to 1--WE OF your
friends?
Everything went wcl until last August.
when the postmaster at Nashville, Tenn.
notified me that great heap OF mail had
collected In that postoffce which he
thought must belong 10 me. 1 suppose
somebody in Nashville hastily replied TO
the chain letter he received and left out
the New York heading. and some one
| olse, receiving this in an envelope post
marked Nashville decided the institution
referred to must be there, and so the mis-
take was carried on. Others also copied
the address wrong.
We'll, OF course, wrote and told him
to forward all the letters TO me at once.
Then I had to write to all the people who
had sent dimes and tell them the instltu-
ton to which they were contributing,
while entirely worthy, was in New York
and not in Nashville, and that under the
circumstances I would send tho money
back il they wished. Most Of them wrote
and told me to keep 1t.
.'The New York post office notified me
that charge had been made against mo
for fraudulent use of the malls. 1t had
come from Nashville I soon convinced tho
officials OF the groundlessness Of such a
charge.
OR Lowenthals accusation grew out
Of the fact that he knew there was no
such institution in Nashville, where SO
many letters were received, and 50
thought the whole thing was a cheat He
has expressed deep regret FOR his hasty
action since.
| Meanwhile I received a letter from
Postmaster General Meyer, saying every.
} thing was all right, but warning me that
an endless chain was against the law.
