A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's
birthday and as they had not been dating very long, after careful
consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note,
romantic but not too personal. Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger
sister, he went to Nordstrom's and bought a pair of white gloves. The
sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. During the wrapping
the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves and the
sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, the young
man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart with the following
note :
          I chose these because I noticed that you are not
          in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the
          evening. If it had not been for your sister, I
          would have chosen the long ones with the buttons
          but she wears short ones that are easier to remove.
          These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought
          them from showed me the pair she had been wearing
          for the past three weeks and they are hardly soiled.
          I had her try yours on for me and she looked really
          smart. I wish I was there to put them on for you the
          first time, as no doubt other hands will come in
          contact with them before I have a chance to see you
          again. When you take them off, remember to blow in
          them before putting them away as they will naturally
          be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many
          times I will kiss them during the coming year!


All my love,


P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with
       a little fur showing.
