When itis desired to use the muffler and protectors, the cap,- is drawn farther upon the head., so that a slot in the front of the cap is opposite the eyes, and the face pro` tector is turned downwardly, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The protector 2, for the and the'muftler tabs drawn forwardly, covends of the face protector, and confining the same to the face, and thence are drawn downwardly beneath the chin and buttoned inplace, thus firmly securing the cap in head and nek, and also affording a. protective covering for the front portion of the chest.

Of course, if desired, any suitable attach ing means may be provided for engaging the face protector to the forward edges of to those before described. Ordinarily, the cap is made of a' suflicient depth to permit the sameto. be drawn somewhat further upon the head when the muffler and protectors are in use, andfor the purpose of confining, the

slightly reduced or restricted by the mufHer pad when drawn rearwardly and attached upon the button therefor at the rear and sides ofthe cap. Whether constructed of crocheted or knitted fabric or any other material or fabric, it is desirable that the material affording the protector 2, for the back of the head, be sufiiciently elastic in parts to permit the' same to conform to the and back of the neck ily wit-hout discqmfortto the wearer.

While I. have shown a yarn and knitted fabric, o-f course, it is to be understood that any suitableA materials may be used without departing from the principles of this invetion.
