Cotton Cap

A cotton cap — plain, soft, unpretentious — often touches the warmth of sincere and faithful friends. The dream may ask who in your life offers that simple, genuine constancy, and where you might lean more trustingly into the comfort of people whose affection asks nothing showy in return.

Miller 1901
