The übiquitous rabbit travels undsr many aliases. According to the general director of the National Association of the Fur Industry of America, who, at the opening of .the convention recently, advocated that furs be known by their right names, The rabbit outnumbers all otherfe in the number of soulbriquets with which his skin has been camouflaged in fashionable furs. He is wanted all over the world as visonette, squirreline, Russian leopard, moline, nutriette, seal musquash, French sable, chinchilette, and buckskin. At the latest count, bunny has 75 such titles, and was '' not out,'' as many other furriers, asked for a report on his aliases, and not yet been -heard from. '' Maybe erminette and leopardine and mar-koni by another name, would not sound as fashionable" said the director, "but there is, no question they woi^ld wear just as long under their rightful names.'' •■;>
