Here's a suitably esoteric question for this group.  Night caps.  As in, 
            "Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap 
             had just settled down for a long winter's nap"
 
When were they worn?  What were they made of ?  How were they contructed?  How 
did they stay on?
 
I'm assuming they may have been worn any time that fires were the only source 
of home heating, but I have only seen images from late 1800's and early 1900's. 
 I'd like to make some.
Anyone know?
 
Laurie
