OBJECT TO STAG DANCES

The article in denunciaton of formal dances with their stag lines and defense of cabarets which Miss Lillian Mackay, prominent in New York society. contributed recently to a New York publication, has found many supporters In England. There are many indications that Miss Mackay expressed in writing what youth nearly all over the world thinks.
 In London it Is becoming more and more difficult for ambitious hostcsses to get togeth. CT enough prominent young people to stage successful dance The Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York are distinctly "party-shy''. but before the death of Queen Alexandra were often seen in night clubs with parties of dancing friends with whom they could have informal evening.
 The formal dance, with its battery of criu- cal and bejeweled dowagers on the sidelines, is rapidly going into the discard in English society It has been in decidedly less favor ever since the war, when so many young peo- pie threw aside ceremony and learned the joy of comradeship between sexes without the elaborate trimmings of formal social func. tions

MOTHER FATALLY STRICKEN PREPARING FAMILY DINNER
Mrs. Michael J. Sullivan of Myrtle Street Succumbs During Christ
 mas Festivities.

A pail of gloom was cast over the Sullivan home on Myrtle street yes terday morning when Mrs. Michael J. Sullivan, in the midst of the happy task of preparing dinner for her family, succumbed to an attack Of acute stomach trouble and died. She had been Ill during the night, but with the morning she persistently re- fused to give over to someone else the custom she had followed for years of preparing the Christmas feast for her family and it is thought the eXertions she put into her work so aggravated her condition that the results were fatal.
 Mrs. Sullivan was born in County Cavan, Ireland. about 62 years ago. At the age of 22 she came to this country living in this city for the greater part of the time. She was one of the oldest members of St Mary's church and had been prom inent in its activities.

Y, Bernard Sullivan, Helen Sullivan, Mrs. Ed. ward Scalise, Mrs. Anna Frei, Miss Monica Sullivan, Edward M. Sullivan and Mrs. Fred Ashman, of Warren, two brothers, four sisters and two great grandchildren.
