“ANDY’S GIFT"

(Ed. We’re not sure whether thia refers to Andy of 151 or Andy of RHQcan you help us.) Andy wished to purchase a birthday gift for Madame Queen. He, accompanied by Mrs# Kingfish, went to a ladies drapery store, and bought a pair of evening gloves for the light-oh-his-love, while Mrs. Kingfish purchased a pair of bloomers for herself. Somehow the parcels got mixed &t the store so that the parcel containing the bloomers was sent to Madame with the following letter.

Dear Honey, This is a token to remind you that I am keeping the bate of your birthday. I cljose then because I thought you needed them as you are not in the habit of wearing them in the evening shen you go out. If it had not been

for Mrs. Kingfish I would have bought longer ones that buttoned, but she said they are all wearing shorter ones now# They are of a delicate shade and the lady from whom I bought them showed me a pair she had been wearing for three weeks and they were hardly soiled. How I wish I could put them on for you Honey (I mean the first time) but no doubt many a man’s hand will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see them. I had Ruby Taylor try them on and they look very pretty. I didn’ t know the exact size but I thought I would be more capable of judging the right size than anyone else. After you have put them on once they will slip off and on quite easily, but before you put them away blow in them. Naturally they will get a little damp from wearing so put them away in tissue paper© Be sure to wear them to the donee at Aunt Lillian’s. I am crazy to see them on you .

Your Ducky Wucky, ANDY. P,S. I think of the many times I will

be kissing the back of them this year© Mrs© Kingfish and Ruby said the latest is to wara them and hanging down so as to give tO weaker a careless look.
