Look here!" And Diantha produced her note-book.
"Here's the little laundry place; its fittings come to so much, wages so much, collection and delivery so much, supplies so much--and already enough patronage engaged to cover.

It will be bigger in winter, a lot, with transients, and this hotel to fall back on; ought to clear at least a thousand a year.

The service club don't pay me anything, of course; that is for the girls' benefit; but the food delivery is doing better than I dared hope." Mrs.Bell knew the figures better than Diantha, even, and they went over them carefully again.

If the winter's patronage held on to equal the summer's--and the many transient residents ought to increase it--they would have an average of twenty families a week to provide for--one hundred persons.
The expenses were: Food for 100 at $250 a week.

Per capita.
