ANECDOTE.  We are informed from undoubted authority, that
the ladies of Charles-Town, since the capture of that place,
have uniformly refused to associate with the British
officers, or to attend any of their assemblies, or places of
public amusement, and having been reduced to the necessity
of selling their buckles for a subsistence, they now wear
black and white roses in their shoes, in honour of the
alliance.
