POPPING THE QUESTION.

Popping the question is a strictly masculine institution, though it involves the presence of a woman. If a man popped all alone and no woman to catch on his pop, he’d be a blamed fool for his trouble. Men have been known to pop at all times and in a variety of places, but those who have been there say that a good solid pop over a garden gate lays any other sort of a pop, and is the poppiest kind of a pop. All women like to hear a man pop his poppiest, and have been known to get mad if the pop was a weak, sickly kind of a pop without style, self-respect or force of character. Men get off the best kind of a pop when they have both of their girl’s hands in their own, or have one of their arras around her waist. This action gives tone and force to the pop—helps to hold the fellow up while making it. Soma fellows take naturally to popping, and are going off all the time. To others it is a painful and laborious proceeding, only to be attempted once in a lifetime and then only as small a pop as they can possibly get away with. When a fellow’s pop is acceptable to a girl, it instantly involves a kiss. When it is not acceptable, kissing is not involved. When a fellow pops, he always pops at his best girl. No fellow ever pops at his second or third best girls, There is no exception to this rule. Popping is a very ancient and honorable institution, and the .girls like it. A girl who has never heard a pop never confesses as much. She invents a pop so that the other girls cannot get the dead wood on her. We belisve in popping, and shall probably experiment in that direction some day.—Winnipeg Siftings.
