A young man wished to buy a pair of gloves for his sweetheart’s birthday. So he went to an expensive boutique, bought the finest gloves available, and asked the saleslady 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’s the note the young man sent 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 your sister wears the short ones that are so easy to remove, so 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 saleslady try them on for me and she looked really smart.

I wish I could be there to put them on you 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. Also, be sure to keep them on while cleaning them so they don’t 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.”

Nice one, the trend now is to have the fur removed though, I think.
