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 roll the count before the gucate arrive. Let them
do it themselves while you maintakt a flow of good-humoured banter.
Do not mend the holes in the wire-netting. 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 long ice-cold drinks of Row'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 on Nature's most thirst-quenching drink could not fail to produce content. The party would be a success.
