GROWING
RAPIDLY
Is BellefOntdine and
Her Business.
Remarkable Increase OF
Business
Shown by the Increase in the
Receipts Of the Post
Office.

The growth in the receipts of our
Post Office probably indicates the
growth of our city and its business
more correctly than any other thing
could, short of an actual census. 1t
is therefore interesting and enGour-
aging to note the steady growth of
the Post ONCE business, for the past
two years. and to note the fact that
the increase is growing from year to
year, and the greatest increase has
been for the last quarter.
The nostal receipts of the Be le-
fon': II Post Office (aside from the
moIty. order business, which has
also snown marked increase, J are as
follows, for the three years. 1901, 1902
and 1903:
Total postal receipts 1901 si2.Oso.s sc

Increase of receipts of 1908 over

Increase of business of 1902 over
1901, over IL per cent.
Increase of business of 1908 over

While these comparisons show 4
very healthy growth of the tu>ines:

A
La Militaire.

Cocks feathers are for the moment
exceedingly smart and are worn OF
both the stiff felt and soft beaver hats.
They are supposed to be water proof
and sometimes are, but 1t is not wise
to expect more than a seasons wear
from them without being done over.
However, for the n seaso they will
be most satisfactory. The fashion Of
the moment demands that either what
are known as the natural colored cocks
feathers or glossy green shading into
black shall be worn with black, green
or brown hats. On all other colors the
feathers must match the shade of the
hat as closely as possible, and it is as
tonishing what a perfect match in
color it is possible to obtain. The pur-
Piles, reds, blues and grays are charm
ing in coloring, and as the full breast
is used the effect is charmingly soft
and becoming. The prices of cocks
feathers make them possible to the ma
jority, but as is the case with every
thing nowadays, there are many diff
ferent prices and of course a wide
range of choice as regards the quality
Of the feathers.

The Tight Fitted Jacket.

- K" O~SAS&
Perhaps the most striking feature Of
the advance spring fashions is the alb
sence of the long fitted coat, that Of
half or three-quarter length, which
made such a furore for itself among
the fashionable last season. The girl
who prides herself on keeping a con-
spicuous place in the fashionable pro-
cession has cast it out utterly and has
adopted in its place the little fitted
jacket, which comes just over the
curve Of the hip, or else one of the new
Btons.
This little fitted coat is very apt to
take to itself the military lines which
are such an integral part of the new
styles. And with it's smart braiding,
showing the necessary touch Of gold,
there is a trim air of style about it
which is eminently fetching.
Others of these little jackets, how
ever, are fashioned with the semi
fitting single darted front, and these
usually fasten in double breasted
style with large carved pearl buttons
and a cute little belt fashioned from
the goods and bound with braid or
leather passing around the waist and
showing quite a marked dip in front.
Braiding, too, ~characterizes this style,
but its application is likely to be more
fanciful and to partake less of the Sc
verify which characterizes the mill
tary styles.
