The Marken Island children in dresses most commonly wore little white, often enroidered bonnets. Most seem to have had chin straps. Some seem to have been more like caps worn on top the head, but the mmore common type was a white bonnet worn securely over the head and ears and drawn tight with a chin strap. Some bous even wore these bonners after being breechhed and their curls cut. While this was the most common headwear, there were a variety of other styles worn by the children.
