WIDOW'S SUICIDE.

TRAGEDY OF A "CHAIN LETTER."

Mrs. Charlotte Durrant Castle, oged forty-nine, widow of 4 master tailor, was found dead from gas poisoning at her home in Jermyn Street, S.W., a few days after she received a "chain letter." "I daresay that this ridiculous letter worried her at a time when she could not stand any worry,' gald Mr. Ingleby Oddle, the coroner, "and she took her life."

He was not the man to spend hours perusing the Telephone Directory, so he spent an uneventful evening waiting, for the second call. That was enough for him, he went out the next day and purchased the TELEPHONE HANDBOOK. Now he is able to tell in a few seconds who rang him

Contentment shows on the face of Mr. Tupman after, his pur- chase of the Handbook. His note book is the result of a survey of this book. He is genuinely satisfied, and does not 'regret buying this book of reference.
