First of Series of Five Homemaking Lessons For Brides
NEST-BUILDING TIME
Choosing The Little House For Two
BY MRS. EDITH BELL NICHOLS.
A Real Bride.
How much shall I pay for rent?
You ask that question. I ask it. Every
bride wants to know. Shall we search
for a house and when we tlnd one that is
cozy take it regardless of cost and
•economize on something else to make both
ends meet?
No, not if we wish to place housekeep
ing on a sound basis. There is a certain
part of the income which should be spent
for rent. According to budgets advo
cated by home economics experts and
tested in thousands of private homes, a
family with an income of $1,200 a year
should not pay more than S2O or $25 a
month for rent.
In addition $lO should pay all the op
erating expenses which include fuel wat
er. light, telephone, soap and the re
placement of utensils as they wear out.
The amount to spend for rent with dif
ferent incomes varies. Here are some of
the rent expenditures for incomes that
have been tested and shown to be wise:
Income for a year.
Income Yr. Rent. Mo.
SI,OOO _ ... .sl7 .
1,500 ... . . 25
2,400 30
3,600 45
If a heated flat or rooms are rented
more can be spent as the operating ex
penses are lower. On a salary of SIOO
a month as high as S3O can be spent for
the rent of a heated home.
After you have decided what you are
going to pay for house rent, you are
ready to start the search. I found, as a
result of my house hunting excursions,
that the bundle of imagination I carried
with me helped to doctor the defe«4»c in
the houses I saw more than anything
else. When you look at a house, try to
picture it as you will arrange it.
During the first day of my house hunt
inging expedition, I felt discouraged un
til I happened to think what wonders
rearrangement could work in the appear
ance of a house. Just because the former
tenant used a room for a library is no
sign you cannot use it for a living room,
if you wish.
Unless brides let their eyes see the
rooms of the houses they want to rent
with new paper on them, they may be
discouraged. Soiled and gaudily colored
wall papers are distasteful to every wo
man. While roses are attractive in-the
garden, they fail to have the same ap
pearance in paper. The owner of the
house you want to will be willing to
paper a room or two and add a coat of
paint to the woodwork.
Good quality of gray or a neutral col
ored paper may be purchased now from
15 cents to 30 cents a roll. If the 15
cent paper is used to paper a room 14
feet by 11 and one-sixth feet, the cost
of the paper will not be more than $2.55.
No border is accounted for and one should
not be used unless the height of the wall
is nine feet or more. Borders make the
ceilings look low.
After you have found your house, you
are ready for the furniture. To buy the

Sumter, S. C.—Cant. W. L. McCutcheon,
who has just retured from twenty-two
months’ service overseas, arrived in Sum
ter Sunday evening. Catain McCutcheon
although modestly denying thaat he ever
did more than his simple duty has been
pronounced a real hero by many who saw
him in action. Col. Andrew Clarkson, of
Columbia, was one who had much to say
on this subject, and wrote “There were
lots of occasions on which Captain Mc-

soluteiy fearless. There are no hardships
that he did not bear philosophically. His
reserve was something marvellous. It
mattered not how long the hike or how
disturing the strain of battle ’Mac’ was
always there.” He was one of those men
that one iH proud to have known, and I
want to assure you that the manner in
1 which he acquitted himself was indeed an
honor to the state and to himself.
Captain McCutcheon, who was repre
senting Sumter in the House of Repre
sentatives when he entered the service,
was commissioned first lieutenant in the
lirst Oflicers’ Training Camp and volun
teered immediately for overseas duty. Ho
was attached to the Thirteenth Infantry
of the Third Division and had part in
four campaigns: Aisne-Maroe Defensive,
Marne Campaigne offensive, St. Mihiel of
fensive. and the Argonne-Mcuse offensive.
He was made captain October, 1918, for
his galantry during the Argoiihe-Meuse
battle.
Sumter, S. C.—A meeting has been call
ed at the courOiousc for Friday after
noon. June 6th. to discuss the advisability
of forming a comity organization ;is an
adjunct of the American Legion of Hon

returned soldiers and sailors: W. K.
Mills, E. E. Bradford. Eli Parker. John li.

E. I. Reardon, Jr., W. E. Bynum.
Sumter, S. C.—The “Sumter spirit” of
co-operation is being evoked to relieve
the congestion in boarding and living eon-
(litions in this city and the Chamber of
Commerce has issued a call for a mass
meeting of citizens to he held at tho
Chamber of Commerce Thursday after
noon to discuss a method of financing
some proposition to erect sufficient build
ings of all kinds to guarantee Sumter's
present prosperity and to safeguard its
future. The call states:
“The serious situation confronting Sum
ter's present and future prosperity be
cause of tin* very inadequate supply of
residences, stores, offices, warerooms. and
other neoessnrv buildings demands that
'‘trio concerted action be taken immedi
ately if Sumter is not only to go ahead
hut indeed, if Sumter is to keep from
going backward.”

OWN YOUR OWN HOME!
The U. S. Department of Labor Information and Educational Service writes:

boys who are returning from the front. Apparently not much Is to he gained by waiting for a decline In
prices of building materials, for authorities tell us It Is impossible for prices to recede to any considerable
extent In the face of costs of productlpn, which are likely to continue without much change for at least a
year or two longer. In the meantime, rents arc advancing nnd homes are becoming very scarce. Nothing
Is more sure to encourage thrift than the act of acquiring a home. Thousands of men have had the ex
