From the South Carolina Gazette, of Oct. 5, 1769. The ladies
are certainly much obliged to the Peder Economist, for
recommending the distaff and spinning wheel to them. . . [33
more lines] The reverse of all these prodigalities is the
case with women; whose utmost expectations are, to go
sometimes to a ball or an assembly, or to spend a few hours
in the evening with an acquaintance or two, after having
carefully attended the concerns of their families in the
preceding part of the day. These innocent amusements only
serve to relax their minds for a small time, and also to
support a friendly sociality between friends. . . [21 more
lines, signed] Margery Distaff--conditionally.
