OUR NEW YORK
FASHION LETTER.

New York. October ~ There Is a time
In the affairs of woman when dres Is
changing. This ia particularly tho case
la octcber and Novcmber--.that lovely time
of year which tho Northerners call Indian
summer. II Is too htc for summer clothes
and too early for winter ones, but just the
time for tho little go-bntwecn toilettes
which are so chic ana becoming.
They are like picked UP dinners--oftcu
better than holiday feasts,
Just now, while the winter STYLES aro
ueciaring themselves. there ~ prono,,isood
tendency toward the hat of cloth and veil
vet, Que OF these was no more than
a Great pudding bag crown with one side
heaped up into u high towering mass
trimmed with bows OF velvet, A great
shapeless thing OF cloth you would have
pronounced Il had you not felt with your
tinSers how stiffly IL was wired under
neaih, and known how well Il would
hoii its shape In spite Of rough treatment.
Although u WAS predicted that hats
would not tilt over the face. It must be
coattsed that " great many OF them do tilt
most decidedly. In one of the most fashion
able windows In New York u few days ago
counted out twelve hats eight that were
very broad aad FRAT biimmssi, slightly
down tilted In front and trimmed with we'd.
vet One Of theso was set decidedly over
the nose. Around the crown il had az
immense put OF wnite figured velvet rolled
