[Sca-cooks] 50's vs '70s

[Elaine Koogler]

True...I missed your intent. I guess we do the same thing for what we 
do. One of my students has told me that those lovely little caps with 
the tie strings were only worn by women in the Italian Renaissance...and 
then they were made of fancy materials/beaded/embroidered. The plain 
white ones were worn by men in many other periods. Sigh. The longer I 
stay in this game, the more I learn!
