1 ,The head covering, as shown, is extremely simple in constructionandis adapted for a wide variety of purposes. 1 For example, the covering may be worn as a hair 'net, a hair training device usually worn at night, adevice worn while drying the hair, or as a device to assist in arranging the coiffure or to retain the same in a desired arrangement. The head covering is washable and can readily withstand; such rough usage to which it normally may be subjected. The strands serve as ribbing which reinforce the net fabric and at the same time cause the fabric to conform to the head. Since the cap can be made by utilizing conventional machines, it can be constructed in an economical manner. The head covering when not in use, can be folded together very compactly to facilitate storage in a very small space, for example, in a handbag or the like, whereby it may be readily carried by the wearer for use'whenever desired.
In view of-the foregoing description it will be seen that the present-invention provides a simple and practical head covering.
'While I have illustrated and described one embodiment :of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not wish to be limited to the precise structure thereof, as obviously various modifications and changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention;
What I claim is: r
1. A head covering of the class described comprising a'cap-like body member of net fabric having a crown portion and a bottom opening, and a plurality of pairs of elastic strands interwoven in the net fabric of the body member with the strands of each pair adjacent each other and the pairs of strands disposed in spaced relation relatively to each other between the crown portion and bottom'opening, said strands extending circumferentially of the cap-like body member for conforming the body member to theshape of the head.
2. A head covering of the class described comprising a cap-like body member of net fabric having a crown opening and a bottom opening, a plurality of pairs of elastic strands interwoven in the net fabric of the body member with the strands of each pair adjacent each other and the pairs of strands disposed in spaced relation relatively to each other between the crown opening and bottom opening, said strands extending circumferentially of the cap-like body member for conforming the body member to the shape of the head, and a hem enclosing another elastic member adjacent said bottom opening.
