This book, which will be published at $3.50, exbibits some specimena of the wit and humour of the Chinese, and is the first publication of its kind to be placed before forsign readers.
The 'Chips' do shed some rays of light on social life in Hong Kong, and Bella Sidney Woolf is a writer who bas her eyes open for the oddities of life and foibles of humanity in this part of the globe.
She has the gift of shrewd observation, and is blossed with a piercing sense of the ludicrous.
