A young man wished to purchase a present for his sweetheart and after careful consideration, he decided on a pair of gloves. Accompanied by his sweetheart's sister, he went to a Department Store and bought a pair of gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. During wrapping the items got mixed up. The sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, he sealed the package and sent it to her with this note;

Dearest Darling,

This is a little gift to show you I have not forgotten your birthday. I chose these because I noted you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your young sister I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears the short ones that are very easy to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me a pair she had been wearing for three weeks and they were hardly soiled. I had the sales lady try them on and they really looked smart. I wish I could put them on you for the first time. No doubt other men's hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off, blow in them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp before wearing. Be sure to keep them on when you clean them or they might shrink. I hope you will wear them for me Friday night.

PS. Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. Also, the latest style is to wear them folded down with the fur showing.
