UBIQUITOUS RABBIT
AN ANIMAL OF ALIASES NEW YORK, Nov. 2. The übiquitous Australian rabbit travels under as many aliases as a city “slicker,” according to the general (director of the National Association of the Fur Industry, who, at the opening of that convention, urged that furs be known by their right names. 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, squirreHne, Russian Leopard, moline, nutriette, seal musquash, French sable, chinchilette and buckskin. At the latest count fhe Australian rabbit had, seventy-five such titles, and was “not out,” as many other furriers, asked for a report on his aliases, had not yet been heard from. “Maybe erminette and leopardine and mar-koni, by another name, would not sound as fashionable,” said th© director., “but there is no question they would wear just as long under their rightful names.”
