Introduce a man to a woman, a boy to a girl, a younger person to an
older, thus: Mrs. Jones, may I present (or introduce) my friend Miss
Holbrook? or, Miss Brown, my friend Mr. Williams; or, Father, this is
Ethel Reed. Let your manner and voice be dignified and gracious, your
words simple. But _avoid_,--Mrs. Jones, meet Miss Holbrook; or, Mr.
Brown, shake hands with Mr. Smith.
