A young man wanted to purchase
a Christmas gift for his new sweetheart. 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."
