Answer:
Elizabeth Van Lew was a successful spy because society did not expect a lady to serve in that role.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this is the paragraph the question refers to:
<em>It may seem surprising that no Confederate sympathizers took action against Van Lew, given her strong and public views on secession and slavery. Surely there were suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors, but the matter never went beyond those suspicions. Historians have suggested that the secessionists were victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. A true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. Such attitudes worked in Van Lew's favor, diverting suspicion from her.</em>
In this paragraph, we learn of the way in which people tended to think about ladies, and in particular, aristocratic ladies. We learn that most people did not believe that polite ladies of society would be capable of becoming involved in something like spying. This appeared to be a contradiction that was unimaginable. Because of this, no one suspected Elizabeth Van Lew, allowing her to do a better job as a spy.

Answer:
Because they show their love for each other with the gifts and the narrator wants readers to understand that when someone loves someone, he/she will do anything in order for the other person to benefit. This is why the narrator thinks Jim and Della are wise.
Explanation:
The story had an ironic ending since Jim sold his watch to buy Della a comb and Della sold her hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch. This means both gifts are useless for both characters but it shows the characters' true love for each other and the fact that they would do anything for each other.
