The State Herald has found treasure
in its Kennedy correspondent. He is able
to put some originality into his descrp-
ton of social functions. Our social edi-
tor, who has to use so many superlative
threadbare, turns green with envy when
he reads the notes of the Kennedy man.
In recent description of a bride Ken
nedy said: ''She is as brilliant as a me-
teor, and equally as full of vivacity."
That Is certainly an original sinile The
idea of a meteor being full of vivacity-
is a good one. In our minds eye we see
a meteor dancing about among the stars
like bride in the nuptial ball, while all
the stars step back to keep the meteor
from treading on their toes. Yes, a me-
teor Is undoubtedly vivacious. So long as
its vivacity is expended in the heavens
we are safe, but suppose in the exhuber-
ance Of is vivacity it should strike the
earth? Suppose it should strike Ken
needy!

The birmingham iron is now being used
in making flowers. 1t is natural that
flowers should come from blooms" Our
iron Ia shipped to foreign countries, where
1t is rolled into thin sheets and then
nodded into flowers by deft hands. These
flowers are painted the color Of the ffow-
err intended to be represented and then
they are shipped back to US. and we dec
crate the graves of our beloved dead
with them. To the metal flower all sea-
sons are summer and all places a garden.
They are llfe-everlasting and forget me
nots. Our dear departed ones can't COM
plain that We don't keep fresh flowers on
their graves when we put q crown of
metal flowers On the tomb It is only
necessary to repaint them once year.
