Miss HELEN HYDE
By Maud B. Rodgers

4 EELEN HYDE, artist, a talented
II San Francisco girl, has won
secure place in the art circles
Of Japan and in the hearts of
the Japanese people. She has won
her position by hard work and pa
ticnce; the Japanese are a reserved
people who do not rush to embrace
the white faced stranger.
Before the fire, in the gay days of
old Chinatown, Helen Hyde made
that her sketching ground. She came
TO understand much OF oriental char
acter and color Her pictures were
highly successful and they found pur-
chasers. The artist found many irni-
tators. She dreamed of broader
field and turned to the orient itself.
When Miss Hyde reached Japan
she had no friends to welcome her
and she found it difficult to secure a
private house in which to live.
At first she found il impossible to
secure a native model owing to the
belief in a spell cast by the foreign
er's eye Undismayed by these dis
appointments, Miss Hyde placed her
self under the tuition of one of the
greatest artists of Japan and set to
work, but for some time she had to
steal her sketches from some pictur-
esque and unwitting subject. Gradu-
ally, through her productions, her
japanese coworlers and her rapidly
acquired friends, her mission and her
talent became known and talked of
and models began to offer themselves
to her 1t was not long before she
acquired home of her own, and at
that time the American traveller jour
neying through japan, whose abiding
faith in the old saying of the Jap
anese, do not say beautiful until you
have seen Nikko," led him to this
garden spot of-the orient, found that
which he had little expected, one of
his country women as. thoroughly at
home in her japanese donicile as.
were the native residents all about
her.
Here Miss Hyde lived long enough
for her residence to become known as
one of the ideal ones of this charming
city and to it all of the greatest peo-
pie of Japan and visitors from other
lands gladly accepted invitations En-
tering in at the wide gate with its
fine old lantern, one passed through
a tropical garden to the house, where
shoes were removed before entering,
for within were the soft mattings and
bszeings OF the orient
From the housetops one looked
down into the village and far down
tze quiet road upon the beginning of
Tokaido, the famous Cryptomeria
avenue which formerly extended to
Tokyo The house, happily remem-
bered by many Californians, was sit.
uated among the mountains, where
countless temples rose from out of
the shadowy groves. while the sound
of rushing streams and waterfalls was
always to be heard above the singing
of the breeze through the lofty trees.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Aug. 3.-The Portland Oregonian and New York Herald joint expedition for the summit of Mt. Mckinley failed. The members of the party claim that no one ever reached the summit.
 The party declares that a precipice and unbroken cliffs 5000 feet high sur round the top, and that it is impossible for man to scale the mountain in its present condition. .=:: @
 This refutes the claims of the mem bers of the Lloyd party who declared they accomplished the journey during the month of March. It will be re- called that Lloyd and his men declared that anyone desiring to go to the summit should ascend at that time of the year for fear of the trail disappearing as soon as the milder weather should come.
