Never “Pop” on Horseback.—Don Piatt writes about popping the question on horseback as though he had been there : —“ Don’t do it; it’s the most awkward place to pop in the world. If you’re rejected you can’t get away; if you’re accepted you can’t embrace. Horses don’t understand that, and by the time you get your arms round her, the confounded animal pulls you apart; and if you attempt to kiss you are joggled up and down all over the whole countenance, kissing the nose and chin more than any other place.”
