A mother named Mary Harding dies, probably because, as she states in a letter, "My husband worked me to death." That letter is sent to the local clergyman (Barrymore). Mrs. Harding states that her skinflint husband will never buy their daughter (Pickford) any decent things, so she leaves the reverend with her little cash nest egg, and asks the minister to buy some luxuries for her daughter. The reverend does so, purchasing a fine hat after he sees Miss Harding admiring it in a department store window. This ill-considered gesture leads to the parishioners gossiping about the nature of the connection between the reverend and pretty young Miss Harding.

* CompanyCameo: The "AB" logo of production company American Biograph can be seen on the wall of the living room where Miss Harding sometimes meets the friendly reverend, and where she tries on her fancy hat. This was actually an anti-piracy device practiced by Biograph, because in the early silent era film piracy was rampant.

''The New York Hat'' is a 1912 one-reel film boasting a murderer's row of talent: directed by Creator/DWGriffith, starring Creator/MaryPickford and Creator/LionelBarrymore, with Creator/LillianGish in a minor role.
A mother named Mary Harding dies, probably because, as she states in a letter, "My husband worked me to death." That letter is sent to the local clergyman (Barrymore). Mrs. Harding states that her skinflint husband will never buy their daughter (Pickford) any decent things, so she leaves the reverend with her little cash nest egg, and asks the minister to buy some luxuries for her daughter. The reverend does so, purchasing a fine hat after he sees Miss Harding admiring it in a department store window. This ill-considered gesture leads to the parishioners gossiping about the nature of the connection between the reverend and pretty young Miss Harding.
The last short film of Mary Pickford's career and the last short film she made with Griffith, who had plucked her from the stage world and made her a movie star. After this Pickford took charge of her own career and became an even bigger star in feature films.
