The home of Mayor and Mrs. Robert J. Harris returned to normal today following a party yesterday afternoon for young "party workers" and "innumerable neighborhood kids." Mrs. Harris is shown reaching into a box with a dwindling supply of cups used for ice cream sodas. She said there were 50 to 75 children at the party, given as a reward for their aid during the recent mayoral campaign. Their jobs during the campaign included stuffing envelopes and hanging messages on doors. Obviously, the children enjoy licking ice cream more than licking envelopes, however.

Puddings, casseroles and hearty soups are Mrs. Robert J. Harris' cooking fortes. The mayor's wife, who claims that she's not a short-order cook, loves "family and fall-type cooking." The Harris family enjoys such specialties as Fresh Tongue or Vegetable-Lamb Casseroles. Mrs. Harris often enjoys preparing Tuna Pudding. Here, she is helped by daughter Katy, 4. Besides feeding a busy husband and three young children, Mrs. Harris has returned to school to complete her degree in social work.
