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 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 for me and she looked really smart.

      I wish I was there to put then 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."
