Toronto, Ontario, Canada, December 31, 1958. Kadis, my Dad's twin sister Jonė, and my Toronto Cousin host a New Year's Eve party. There's a red cigarette box on the table; I can't make out the brand. When I was a kid, I always wondered why Canadian cigarette boxes where so different from U.S. cigarette boxes.
Thanks to my Toronto Cousin for making this photo available to us.
ADDED: My Toronto Cousin reports the cigarettes were DuMaurier.

Those were the days when you got all dolled up even for a family do.
PS I think that was the British style of cigarette packaging. The only American brand that went in for that was Lorillard, which had aspirations.
More elegant, you know.
PPS I recall DuMaurier vaguely from early childhood.
More from the New York area (where my aunt and grandmother lived) than Philadelphia.
