[Janice D. Soderling]

Keep looking, Janet.

Here is one for erudite Eratospherians. There is a famous short story about the poverty-stricken lovers who, to buy each other a Christmas present, parted with the most precious possession of each. She sold her hair to buy him a watch chain. He sold his watch to buy an ornament for her hair.

This is how I remember the plot anyway. Possibly it is by Poe. Anybody recognize that story and know the title and the author?
