FAMOUS EXPRESSIONS

To feel in apple-pie order Is phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems that
every Saturday she was accustomed to
bake two or three dozen apple pies,
which were 10 last her family through
the coming week. These she placed care
fully on her pantry shelves, iapeled Ior
each day OF the week. 50 that Tuesdays :
pies might not be confused with Thurs-
days, nor those presumably large or IN
tended for washing and sweeping days,
eaten when household duties were lighter.
Aunt Hepzlbahs "applle-plc order was
known throughout the entire settlement,
and originated the well-known saying.
II was once customary in France. when
a guest had outstayed his welcome, Tor

the origin OF the phrase ITO give the

has killed Turk was an old Hun
gariau saying and the number OF feathers
ia his cap indicated how many Turks the
man had killed. Hence the origin Of the
saving with reference 20 feather i'm

In one OF the battles between the Rus
slams and Tartans private soldio of the
former cried out Captain, I've caught
a Tartar!" Bring him along. then,
answered the officer. y cant, for he
won't let me. was the response. Upon
investigation IL was apparent that the
captured had the captor by the arm and
would not release him. SO catching a
Tartar is applicable TO one who has
found an antagonist too powerful for him.
That far from elegant expression, Ito

originated i'm the time of Queen Eliza
