"The Love-Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein" is short and to the point. Ikey, educated pharmacist is well respected, but shy. He is friends with a man who loves the woman he also loves. His friend asks for a "love potion," an Ikey pretends to oblige while sabotaging his friend's plan. Hilarity, and a heartwarming character change, ensues.

"The Social Triangle" is a great story about those who we look up to and who they look up to. The twist was slightly obvious, but how O.Henry got there was great

Whoever said money can't buy love hasn't paid $3000 to create a false traffic jam in NYC so that his son can propose to some random.lady he kind of knows.

"The Gift of the Magi" is one of my favorite short stories ever, and rereading it brought a smile. Dipping into this book at random times has been great

Interestingly, this collection starts with one of my least favorite O. Henry stories. I picked this up because I remember that I loved the stories I read by him when I was younger, but "The Plutonian Fire" did not work for me.
