Marquette Park, Chicago, Illinois, 1959. Mr. Irene's Dad celebrates Mr. Irene's christening day. The group sits in the kitchen of Anna and Stanley's home. The back of Anna's headcovered in a hair netfaces the camera lens.

Do you recognize the 7Up bottle partially visible in the lower right corner?

Oh, yeah, the bottle was ubiquitous in the 50s (any time I had a sore throat, which seemed to be every winter, I lived on it (remember the girl in the bathing suit tossing the ball?)).

And hair nets were far more acceptable then; hair spray seemed to make them obsolete.
