The historic old the on Bos- ton's Common was '12 feet tau, and 3 feet, 8 inches in circumfer- ence at the base, in its paimy days. From its branches were hanged witches. traitors. and some Indians who had murdered white settlers. . . . The largest fun-

took place in 1770. The youth was accidentally killed by a royalist during the hectic days just before the Revolution, and the funeral was made the occasion of a great popular gathering. The corpse was taken to the Liberty Tree on Essex Street amid tolling bells. Fifty school boys headed the pro- cession, followed by 2,000 citizens.

'rhe coffin bore a Latin inscrip- tion - "Innocence itself is not safe."

And has this not been an ex- tremely busy day at America -as James had expected? Ay indeed, from morning, until now the night hours have gathered the folks to their houses. It came to us out of a dream. the substance of which we can no longer remember. only to know that it was entertaining and most agreeable. There had been no disturbing climax no awakening in terror. We recall drifting back from its flowei'Y paths at the sound of a voice. "El- len" James whispered, the only sound in this wide old house "would it be getting-up time yet? It's bright, but perhaps it's the moon - and not yet daylight breaking." A fretwork of dark branches in the white birch lay against the sky and all was still, without even a whisper of wind about the eaves . .

OTTAWA, Dec. 27 - (CP) - Rose. only daughter of Viscount Alexander, will be presented to capital society in a "coming-Olll" party at Government House this week.

Some 300 persons have been in- vited to the ball. set for Dec. 29. Social circles in the capital say it will be the first time the daugh- ter of a Governor-General has come of age during her father's term of office. Rose was 18 last October. .

And Rose will be among them. Along with the other debs, she will curtsey to her father, recog- nizing him as the King's official representative in Canada.

Having Busy Time

Black-haired. smiling-eyed Rose- ahe'x sometimes called "Rosie" by her friends-has been having a busy time of it these last few days. Not only is she keeping up with all the activities of a busy "deb". but she also is continuing -and intends lo continue-with her job in the downtown office of an insurance company.

For the all-important party she will wear a frothy gown of lace and net. Folks at Government House Who have seen it say it's "Very lovely." It has a pale pink undersklrt, with full pleated net skirt and. over the whole. fine whlte and silver lace.

Around the top of the matching bodice is a broadiribbon of deep- er plnk covered with the same ail- ver lace.

If Rose is excited about the prospect of her party, so are me 30-odd other debutante: making their how this season to capital IOHEW. Among them will be Helen C1lX10n- dalllhter of Defence Min- ister Ciaxton. and Sandra James, daughter of Air Vice-Marshal A. is James.

James call- ed again, a bit louder, "didn't we promise ourselves to get up earl)” today? Don't you recollect that? How a woman can rest so content -and her barn open to the Win- ter weather. is more than I can understand!" .There was a spirited spring then. And our house was astir. Before dawn had even touch- ed the tree-tops "down along" with color, we had hrcakfasted, and were ready to meet the new day.

Smoke spirals up now rose and blue of morning, steps crunch frostily, the air is sharp and clear - and most invigorat- ing we find, after the damp gray days we have had. Perhaps, all in all it was rather too challenging and nippy for the carpenter and his assistants who worked all day on the heights of the barn, saw- ing, hammering. shaping, mend- ing the ugly rent in the roof.

the studies to date in regard to, treatment of essential high blood pressure have been directed to lowering the blood pressure rather than curing the disease causing the blood pressure.

We know that emotional disturb- ances raise the blood pressure. Therefore. the cause of these emo- tional disturbances should be sought and as far as possible re- moved, or the patient made in to overcome them.

The commonest cause of high blood pressure due to the emotions appears to be aggressive impulses that are not thoroughly repressed or controlled.

The thought then'ln the treat- ment of emotional high blood pressure is acquiring calmness or serenity of mind. in which treat- ment the reassurance of the phy- sician is most important.

We must not forget, however, that ordinary high blood pressure may be caused by various infec- tions, not by emotions.
