ORIGIN d commonplace phraae..

Origin OF Commonplace Phrases.
Expressions that we use nowadays
metaphoricnlly were used In their real
sense in bygone days. For instance. we
speak about "beating a retreat" forget
ting perhaps that the phrase comes
from the fact that in war time when a
retreat was ordered the drums were
beaten In a particular manner, just as
today It is sounded on the bugle. Then
again one speaks of going Off bag and
baggage" How many know what the
"bagguge" was? The general idea is
that 1t was part Of the soldiers kit. In
point of fact the bag" was originally
the soldiers hayersack; the baggage"
was his wife. The familiar phrase ito
give the cold shoulder" originated in
France, where it was the custom to
serve with cold shoulder of mutton In
stead of hot meat guest who had out
stayed his welcome "a feather in his
cap" comes from Hungary. 1t being for
merly the custom for the Hungarians
to put feather in their caps for ev-
cry Turk they killed. The word dead
head" is, according to some authorities,
one of great antiquity. 1t is said that
''deadhead" was in Pompeil an indl-
vidual who gained admission to an en-
tertainment free of charge by means Of
pass in the form of small ivory
