Summer Homes.

In the lake regions of Wisconsin,
northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
and Dakota, there are hundreds OF
charming localities pre-eminently fitted
for summer homes. Nearly all are To-
Gated on or near lakes which have not
been flshed out. These resorts are
easily reached by railway and range in
variety from the full dress for dinner
to the flanncl-shirt costume for every
meal. Among the list are names famil-
lar to many of our readers as the per-
lection Of northern summer resorts.
Nearly all OF the Wisconsin points Of in
terest are within a short distance
from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none
of them are so far away from the busy
marts of civilization" that they cannot
be reached in few hours of travel, by
frequent trains, over the finest road in
the northwest-the Chicago, Milwaukee
e. st. Paul railway. A description Of
the principal resorts, with list of sum-
mer hotels and boarding houses, and
rates for board, will be sent free on ap-
plication to Geo. II. Heafford, General

ITO BE CONTINUED
Identified by His Halo.

Signor Luigi Arditi, the famous con-
ductor Of opera, and the composer of
much delightful music, Is entering the
fiftieth year of his public career, and on
itss'completion will publish his remin-
iscences. The conductor of an operate
orchestra soon learns more about great
singers than they themselves could tell
him. He knows their moods, can un-
derstand their temperament, and is
probably the only person to accurately
gauge the limitations of their art.
Hence Signor Arditi's book will throw
new and interesting light on many
favorites of the operate stage. To all
opera goers the halo surrounding Sig
nor Arditi's head is familiar, and the
maestro tells good story about it, at
his own expense. 1t was in the days
when the Mapleson opera company,
from Her Majesty's, was in America,
and at one of the towns Arditi went to
cash an open check payable to himself
and made out by the impresario. He
reached the bank and presented the
paper to the cashier, who looked first
at the check, then at him, and said, II
must have some proof Of identity. This
is an open check; you may be Mr.. Ar
diti or you may not" This was awk-
ward, for the musician had no card or
papers with him, whereby to set the
question Of identity at rest, and he did
not want to have a journey back to his
hotel. At last bright idea struck him.
"Do you ever go to opera?" he asked
the cashier. Eyes, have been several
times" replied the cashier. "Then,"
cried the musician, turning round sud-
denly and lifting his hat, do you mean
to tell me you don't know Arditi?" The
familiar back-view at once convinced
the cashier, and, with many apologies,
the money was paid.-Fr0m the Sketch.
