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 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.
