What folly to encumber themselves with real estate which, sold at a sacrifice, brings barely half its price! Moral exhorters have not carefully considered this side of the question in their arguments for house-owning and family-rearing as anchors to the young man.
The fact noted earlier is a case in point.

After the wedding-cards were out the bridegroom was transferred to the charge of the company's office in another city.
The expenses necessitated by these frequent removals make an unaccounted-for item in many incomes.
If the young couple have saved or inherited between them, say, $3000, shall they build a home with it?
Decidedly not.

Because the house will cost $5000 before they are done.

Not only because of the unexpected in strikes and change in prices of materials, but because, as the plans take shape, the wife or the husband or both will see so many little points which they will ask for, the paper plan not having conveyed a definite idea to either.

An excellent plan was carried out by a college woman.
