Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi." "Don't make any mistake, Dell," [Jim] said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less” Jim’s quote expresses the theme that beauty disappearslove is a distractionbeauty is a priceless treasurelove outweighs physical attraction
