Patricia groaned and proceeded to re- gale her roommate with the story of all that had taken place—how Anne had told Miss Pemberton that they were to ! meet the friend of her mother’s at New Haven, and Patricia had believed her. only to learn that the friend in question was not to be with them; how they had gone to the game and been diseowred“ by Miss Overwood; how they had start- | ed by motor back to New York, only to | be delayed and forced to wait for the! next train. | “If I had planned the thing myself. | 1 shouldn't feel so badly about it. prob- | ably, but I really had no idea that Anne | | | Stanhope would say something.

Clear, cold lakes produce skins of deep, glossy black, while muddy lakes produce light-colored fur.” Equally surprising facts concerning th: coloring of other fur animals have been discovered. The climate and food have something to do with the color and density of the beasts’ coats, but not always. where the weather is coldest the fur should be heaviest, but cases are found where animals living in the Central United States are more valuable than those caught in the North. That climate makes a difference in the color of some animals is {llustrated by the little weasel.

Opos- | sums are the only white fur-bearers in |the Central and Southern United States, but there is an occasional white coon or white muskrat.
