HINTS
AND
GENERAL
REMARKS.

the
skill
and
the
talent
of
others,
and
I
know
how
to
value
and
appreciate
it,
but
still
my
greatest
pleasure
is
to
amuse
others;
and you
will
find,
"
True
happiness
is
gained
by
making
others
happy."
Often
have
I
done
extra
work
to
amuse
my
friends,
for
the
pleasure
I
felt
was
ample
reward.
I
would
mention
right
here
some
of
my
little
extra
doings,
different
from
the
usual
way.
When
you
are
not
pushed
for
time,
while
you
are
making
mixed
drinks,
cool
your
glasses
with
ice
before
you
serve
your
drink;
in
serving
a
strained
drink,
you
begin
with
serving
a
glass
of
ice-water;
then
fill
your
glass,
into
which
you
are
to strain
your
drink,
with
ice.
You
may
place
your
glasses
together
in
the
form
of
a
pyramid
and
ornament
your
structure
with
fruits
and
flowers.
Now
begin
to
prepare
your
drink.
By
following
these
hints
you
will
accomplish
several
purposes
:
Firstly,
you
will
please
the
eye
of
your
customer;
secondly,
you
will
have
thoroughly
cooled
glasses;
thirdly,
you
will
not
need
to
wipe your
glasses
dry,
etc.
On
a
hot
summer
day
you
will
find
such
little
extras
to
a
great
advantage
to
the
business
practically,
i.
e.,
financially.
A
drink
well
served
is
worth
two
that
lack
in
presentation.
When
a
drink
is
made
with
ice
and
then
strained,
there
should
be
nothing
left
in
the
glass
but
the
liquid;
the
fruit
would
hinder
you
in
drinking,
it
would
touch
the
mustache;
if
you
want
to
eat
it
you
cannot
get
it
out,
and
the
fruit
has
lost
its
natural
aroma;
fruit
ought,
