A young man wished to buy a pair of gloves for his sweetheart. So he went
to an expensive boutique, bought the finest gloves available, and asked
the saleswoman to have them delivered with a note. While wrapping the
gloves, a clerk accidentally mixed up the order and sent a pair of panties
instead.
Here is the note the young man sent to his sweetheart.
Darling,
I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing
any when we go out in the evening. I would have chosen the long ones with
buttons, but because your sister wears the short ones that are so much
easier to remove, I decided to get the same style for you.
Although these are a delicate shade, 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 girl try them on for me and she looked really smart.
I wish I could be there to put them on for your for the first time. No
doubt many other hands will touch them before I 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. And be sure to
keep them on while cleaning them so they do not shrink.
Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year! I hope
you like them and will wear them for me on Friday night.
All my love
Hollingsworth
PS The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur
showing.
