Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A witty cross between an etiquette book and a Boy Scout manual, RISING TO THE OCCASION covers everything from opening a bottle of champagne to unclogging a sink with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams. "Give this practical charmer to a young person in need of savoir faire, or keep it for yourself--all of us need a little help."--San Antonio Express-News. A LITERARY GUILD SELECTION. Now in its 7th printing. Young people nowadays don't seem to know much about the important things in life. Like carving a turkey (important) or writing a thank you note (more important) or unclogging a drain or jump-starting a car (incredibly important). Not to say that older folk have got it all down. We appreciate the elegant gesture or the timely repair that saves the day, but parents these days are too busy to teach their children the things people used to take for granted. Social skills like making an introduction or entertaining a party of six and practical skills like replacing a pane of glass or sewing on a missing button are fast becoming lost arts. Shirts are sent out, plumbers called in. But it's not too late, thanks to Edith Hazard and Wallace Pinfold, who, with wit and know-how, guide the helpless through concise explanations of how to do things the right way-and with flair. This handy little book is now available in paperback-and with a snazzy new look. Now when you're asked to dance a waltz, arrange a bouquet, give a haircut, or lay a fire, no need to run for the hills. When the lights go out, you'll know how to change the fuse. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781565123298
