 One obstacle to the purchase of a house by the renter is frequently found in the desire to own a better or at least as good house as he has been accustomed 10 live in, while his income seems to justify only the Puf- chase of one more or less inferior He, or his wife, thinks he will lose caste by coming down little in the style of his domicile. Nothing could be more preposterous. He gains in standing with everybody whose good opinion is worth having, the moment he begins to live ill a house whose title deed runs in his own name. And suppose the house he buys is just a little smaller or cheaper. The cheaper, the sooner it will be paid for, ordinarily; and once paid for it can be sold. and the price put into a better one. A few successive steps like that have transferred some families from home in cheap house in an obscure part Of i the city to more pretentious house in the most desirable neighborhood. { If the first step had not been taken, l ln the requirement of a "cheap home none of the others would have fol- ! lowed.
