THE UNDER FOOTMAN.

In families where two or more footmen are kept, the under footman is

expected, and indeed, engages to do that part of the business of a

footman, which is deemed the most laborious; that is, he cleans knives

and forks—boots and shoes—carries up the coals and attends all the

fires above stairs during the day. He likewise carries out cards,

messages, &c. and assists to carry up and wait at dinner, &c. &c.

Wages, 16 to 20 guineas, with liveries.
