A young man decided to buy his sweetheart a present for Valentine?s Day. After due consideration he decided that a pair of gloves would be just the thing.

His sister was going shopping and he accompanied her. While he was buying the gloves, his sister bought a pair of silk panties for herself. Somehow, at the gift wrap department, the items got mixed up and the panties were sent to the sweetheart?s house with the following note :-

"My dear lover,

This is to show you that I had not forgotten your Valentine Day?s gift. I chose them because I notice that you had not been wearing any when we went out together last week. Had it not been for my sister?s advice, I would have bought long ones. They are delicate in colours. I bought these from a lady who showed me a pair she was wearing for three weeks and they were hardly soiled.

However, I wish I could put them on for you the first time. No doubt, other men will come into contact with them. I hope you would think of me every time you put them on and off. I was not sure about the size but I felt I should be a competent judge if anyone else was. When you put them on for the first time, sprinkle a little powder in them as they will then go on easily. When you take them off, blow into them as they will naturally be damp from wear.

I hope you will accept them in the same spirit in which they are given and wear them to the dance on Saturday. There you can take them off later in the night when I have seen you in them. I don?t think I shall be able to count the number of times when I shall be kissing the backs of them through the coming years.

Happy Valentine?s Day.
