Collier's Weekly, Colors of Grapes. The dark-red color of certain grapes Is due to a compound of tannin which all varieties of tho vine contain. The pninr seems to deoend on the com bined action of the air, light and heat The change In color Is produced naturally In the vino by means of a specific ferment which carries the oxygen of-tho air to the grape. These ferments are often the agents of coloring In vegetable substances, as they are often seen in apples and, In potatoes which have been cut open and thus exposed to contact with the air. The grapes that are white on maturity owe the absence of coloring to the absence of this ferment 44 '4 ' 1 Getting On. "Haa Maud succeeded In getting Into society yet?"
