From the South-Carolina Gazette, October 5, 1769. But women
think, it would tend to but very little good purpose, were
they to card and spin, whilst the men are racking their
brains, in contriving how to dissipate their time and money,
in what they call parties of pleasure. . .
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. . . These innocent amusements
only serve to relax their minds for a small time. . .
