London has been sufferihg recentiy from an outbreak of tfie ehain letter craze, but one now going the rounds is apparently de^.igned to serve as a chain letter to end all chain letters. After the psuai preamble about not enclosing money, it invites the recipient to make a list of five of his male friends. "Then bundle up your wife and send her to the fellow at the top of the list." It then announces that when the recipient's name comes to the top he will receive 15,625 women. A final threat is that anyone breaking the chain will receive his own wife back.
