Steep the plate in soap leys for the space of four hours; then cover it over with whiting wet with vinegar, so that it may stick thick upon it, and dry it by a fire; after which, rub off the whiting, and pass it over with dry bran, and the spots will not only disappear, but the plate will look exceedingly bright. TO MAKE PLATE LOOK LIKE NEW. Take of unslaked lime and alum, a pound each, of aqua vitæ and vinegar, each a pint, and of beer grounds, two quarts; boil the plate in these, and they will set a beautiful gloss upon it. TO TAKE FRUIT SPOTS OUT OF CLOTH. Let the spotted part of the cloth imbibe a little water without dipping, and hold the part over a lighted common brimstone match at a proper distance. The sulphurous gas which is discharged, will soon cause the spot to disappear. _Plate Powder._ Whiting properly purified from sand, applied wet, and rubbed till dry, is one of the easiest, safest, and, certainly the cheapest, of all plate powders. THE UNDER, SECOND, OR LADY’S COACHMAN. The business of the _Under Coachman_, is precisely the same as that of the _Head Coachman_, as before detailed. He attends with the assistance of the helper, to the care and dressing of his horses, washing and cleaning the harness and the coach, which is always the second best, and is driven by him at night; whereas the best coach and the best horses, are driven by the Head Coachman by day. Wages from 20_l._ to 24 guineas, with two suits of livery, a box coat occasionally, hat and boots—also one or two stable dresses. He is sometimes required to ride as postillion, or as courier, when the family travel _post_. THE UNDER COACHMAN. If there be other Coachmen kept, their duties are similar to those of the first and second Coachmen, but their wages are somewhat lower, and the liveries, &c. not always quite so costly. THE LADY’S FOOTMAN. The chief business of this servant is to wait on his lady only, for whom he performs all the offices of a footman. He carries out all her messages and cards of invitation. He prepares the breakfast, and waits behind her chair both at breakfast and dinner—must be ready at all times to go out with his lady, either behind her carriage or on foot. For his more general duties, see the Directions to the Footman. A genteel exterior and a good figure are principal recommendations of this servant; to which he should add great cleanliness in his person, and studied neatness in his dress. He is, of course, expected to assist the other servants in waiting at the dinner table, and to receive instructions through the lady’s maid, in whose out-door concerns he must officiate when required. Wages 18l. to 25 Guineas—two liveries and a working dress. THE UNDER FOOTMAN.
