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 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 were 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. I hope you will
wear them for me on Friday night. All my love. "P.S. The latest style is
to wear them folded down with a little fur showing."
