In announcing the contents of their
October number, the editors of Lip
pincott' IS Magazine give praise to the
story of Miss Jessie Kaufman, who is
well known in Honolulu and who has
written in her story, with which lip
pineott's will lead their October num-
Der, of Hawaii. The editorial an-
nouneement says:
''The complete novel will be "A
Jewel of the Seas tale of Hawaii,
that paradise of the Pacific which is
now a part of Uncle Sans domains.
Miss Jessie Kaufman, the author, has
spent much time there, and Is :hoT-
Oughly familiar with the society she SC
cleverly depicts. Its curious admixture
of whites, Hawaiians, Chinese, and
mixed bloods, is different from any
other on the face of the globe. We
are shown life on the Islands as it
uetually is-the delightful social fune-
tons, the welcome accorded visitors
from the outside world, the trials of
the housekeeper, all the advantages
and disadvantages of living in this
tropical garden spot. But aside from
its marvellous atmosphere and local
color, the tale has a strong, well-de-
fined plot to commend it-a plot with
a mystery There is a great deal of
humor in the narrative also, and some
mighty good character drawing. Alto
gether, "A Jewel of the Seas is one of
the brightest and most readable stories
we have ever published.
