BAD hosts are born and not made; not everyone can make a failure of a tennis party. Nevertheless there are certain-observances which may be relied upon to reduce the chances of success. -
For instance, do not rall the court before the guests arrive. Let them do it themselves while you maintain a flow of good-humoured banter.
Do not mend the holes in the wire-nesting. Searching for balls in the middle of a ding-dong game is a great fermenter of temper.
AND ABOVE ALL, do not on any account provide tong ice-cold drinks of Rowe's Lime Juice for between-the-sets refreshment. If the imperfect host were to forget by chance this cardinal rule of Inhospitality, the sharp and utterly satisfying tang of Nature's most thirst-quenching drink could not fail to produce content. The party would be a success.
