- Notes:
- "The girls get curious about the ruffles on the Handkerchief showing from your pocket. They think you have other sweethearts but when they investigate the hanky, AH! it is not a Handkerchief at all but something else, indeed!! Fold the hanky so that the lace protrudes frm the pocket--it won't take long for the fun to start."
Handkerchief, unfolded, is in the shape of a pair of lavender lace trimmed ladies underwear with the poem printed on them: Short but Sweet. Mary had some little pants/Too short were they to show/But everywhere that Mary went/The pants were sure to go. Accompanied by printed paper envelope. - Subject Terms:
