London-The Court Curtsy was given for the first time since 1939 at two presentation parties held recently at Buckingham Palace. Debutantcs wore afternoon dresses and hats at the afternoon parties. Since 1939. the presentations have been less formal-garden party affairs. At the recent parties. the girls were in the white Drawing Room before the presentations and moved to the ballroom where the King and Queen were seated. Tea was served in a tent just outside the Bow Room. A curtsy in an afternoon dress is not at all easy- to do. especially as slit skirts are: frowned upon. Most of the skirts. were bouffant despite what Paris says about the slim sheath. The big evening party for the debu- tantes will be held at the Berk- ley Hotel on April 4th. when Lon- don and Paris dress ouses are sending modci dresses to be worn by several of last year's debu- tantes.

EMOTIONAL FACTORS MAY NOT CAUSE BUT AGGRAVATE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Nearly every 'physiciBn has treated patients with one or more of the following diseases-peptic ulcer, high blood pressure, poor muscular heart and heart mur- murs. Physicians have learned how

to size up these patients aside from any symptoms of the disease for which they have consulted

them. And. while the emotional make-up of the patient affects the disease and the physicians know that in many cases the make-up of the patient may cause the disease. they also know that the make-up may not cause the disease.

In The New Zeaiand Medical Journal. Dr. B. W. Murphy asks the three following questions: 1. Do emotional disturbances enter into the causing of high blood pressure? 2. Is there anything specific or "special" about the per- sonalities and conflicts of high blood pressure patients? 3. is the high blood pressures emotional state important from the stand- point of treatment?

Dr. Murphyls observations and the opinions of other investigators would show that while emotional conflict cannot be regarded as tho cause of high blood pressure. it has an intimate relation to the cause. Dr. Murphy disagrees with statements concerning a speciail type of personality as most likely or prone to develop high blood pressure. with this many physic- ians will not agree because most of the high blood pressure patients who consult them are irritable and tensed all the time or grossly overweight.

It is true that while the peptic ulcer patient is usually thin. with, narrow chest. narrow abdomen- which does not allow stomach to be in I good emptying position. there Ire exceptions and these ex- ceptions can be explained by samei sudden or unusual conflict. sndi this. in Dr. Murphy's opinion. is the cause of the high blood pres- sure.

"A real need exists for psychia- tric examination and treatment in all high blood pressure patients and. after I physical examination also. the patient can be reassured by explaining to him how even despite his calm or level "

ll make-up. unusual conflicts. by keeping him tensed. raise his blood pressure." he writes.

Dr. Walter P. Cannon. Yale. has shown that functional diseases be- come organic in time.

The thought is that no matter what our emotional make-up. we should try to develop calmness or serenity.

Marlborough House. London. England. .- March 5th. 1951.

'Dear Mrs. Cosh: ,

I am commanded by Queen Mary to thank you once more. warmly. for the comprehensive Report of the Annual Meeting of the ”Queen Mary Needlework Guild" which Her Majesty has read with much interest. Both Mrs. Putnam's speech and your own detailed acccunt of the year's achievements have impressed the Queen by the unstinted hard work and constant enthusiasm which they imply.

The really lovely clothes which you send every year for Her Ma- jesty's Maternity Home are an un- failing source of delight to the Queen. who appreciates the as- lonishing amount of work that the Guild members get through no less than the perpetually high standard of its quality.

The grateful letters Canadian Red Cross, Salvation Army and Prince Edward Island Protestant Orphanage show with what joy the gifts of The Guild are receiv- ed by these admirable organiza- tlcns. And when one thinks of the dlfficuity of getting materials. and of the days and of the hours of work involved by such a generous output, Her Majesty is amazed by the record of the year's work. and gratefully thanks one and all for the lavish gifts that brings such happiness to those for whose wel- fare Queen Mary is deeply con- cerned.

We find these are extremely useful. and should be pleased if you would make some of them. Email knitt- ed coats and bootees are always needed. Also small flannelettc gowns. I hope if you come to Eng- land you will pay us a visit and I shall not be absent as last time. We had I full year's work in "The Home", delivering 1.0M babies. Nineteen pairs of twins, weighing

less than 3 lbs. flourished" very well. our patients are vary grateful

for the comfort and amenities of "The Home" and proud to know of Queen Mary's continual in- terest and that of those who help us. and interested. though so far away.

With housing so difficult. so many are glad to ccme away from

their one or two room.s, where they have no convenience for help from relatives. They enjoy the use of the garden too. It looked very gay with many flowss last year and we have high hopes of it being better this year. with grateful thanks and every good wish. to all interested. Yours sincerely. E. H. Benjalield.
