10. _Paint_ can be removed by soaking the spot in turpentine. This dissolves it, and a bit of rubbing shakes it out. A brush helps, when the paint spot is on a woolen garment, after the turpentine has done its work. _Remember_: All spots and stains should be removed before washing the garment. GOOD MANNERS AND SOCIAL FORMS It is easier to meet people socially if we are acquainted with the simple forms of introductions, meeting and parting, and so forth. A girl who is entertaining her friends will be more successful in doing so if she plans ahead how she can welcome them and has all the necessary preparations for a substantial good time, at hand. This planning also makes it possible for her to be less occupied when the time comes, and to have a good time herself. Stand where guests can see you at once when they enter. Always introduce a younger person _to_ an older one, as "Mrs. Smith, may I present Miss Jones, or Mr. Brown?" A man is always presented _to_ a woman, or a girl, as "Miss Brewster, may I present Mr. Duncan?" If you have many guests, ask some of your friends to join you in watching to be sure that no one is left out, so that the evening may be a success for every one. It is sometimes difficult for a hostess to do this alone. If you ask other girls to help you ask each to do a definite thing, as to arrange for wraps, sing or play, pay special attention to some older person, etc. This saves confusion, as the Pine Tree patrol does in camp. A few intimate friends need no plan to make them have a good time, but with a large number it is usually better to plan games, music, charades, or some other form of entertainment. When invited to a house at a certain time, be prompt. Promptness is always a mark of courtesy, as it means consideration for the time and convenience of others. One should also watch carefully the time of leaving, and not stay about unless specially detained. TABLE MANNERS Accept what is offered or placed before you, with a quiet "Thank you." If you are asked what you prefer, it is proper to name it. Do not drink while food is in the mouth. Take soup quietly from the side of the spoon, dipping it into the plate _from_ instead of towards you, to avoid dripping the soup. Break bread or roll, and spread with butter only the piece which you are about to eat. Use knife only as a divider, the fork to take food to the mouth. Where one can dispense with a knife, and use only the fork to divide food, do so. When not using either, lay them together across the side of the plate, not resting on the table cloth. A spoon should never be allowed to rest in a tall receptacle such as a cup or glass, as it is likely to overturn the receptacle. Place the spoon on plate or saucer. At close of meal, fold napkin, that table may be left in orderly condition. When napkins are to be washed at once, or when they are paper napkins, they need not be folded. Do not begin a course until all are served.
