The übiquitous Australian > - abbit travels under as many aliases as a city "slicker," according to the general director of the National Association of , the Far Industry, who, at the opening of that convention, urged that furs be known by their right namesj The rabbit outnumbers all others in the number of soubriquets 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, the Australian rabbit had seventy-five such titles, arid was "not out," as many other furriers, asked for a report on his aliases, had not vet been heard from.
"Maybe orminette and leopardine and mar-koni, by another name, would not sound as fashionable," said the director, "but there is no question they would wear just as long under their rightful names." \
