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 just 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 along with this 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 the 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.
