not quite as simple as that. A gentleman wears a cap for (strictly amateur) sporting use, eg, a cricket cap, a deer stalker or a yachting cap. Military officers, who are all gentlemen, also wear caps as part of their uniform. The sons of gentlemen also wear school caps. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Love is fast, life a vest" --- Ancient wisdom of the mysterious Orient spotted --- on the back of an autorickshaw in Mysore, India.
