"The Gift" 

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."
