He was buying a gift

Jim is most likely late because he sold his watch to buy combs for Della's hair, while Della sold her hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch, making each of their gifts useless. This unexpected turn of events would have delayed Jim as he tried to figure out how to handle the situation.
