the word lingered in NY till the early 1950's, (i would have said its a kind of water-resistant head scarf (of decorative cloth)
by then most women of a certain age would use rain bonnets that they could keep folded in their purses, but i did hear cravenette used as a term for a head scarf. ( i always thought it was some sort of version of cravate. (a term for a scarf worn as tie by a man)
