<P class=MsoNormal>I came across this Woolf reference in Patricia Moye’s
detective novel <I>Who Saw Her Die?</I> (1970).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“In the morning, Emmy went off to the Rue du Rivoli.
Although, with her slender packet of travellers’ cheques, she could do no more
than lick the windows of the shops - as the French put it so vividly - still she
was adamant that this was an admirable way to spend a couple of hours. ‘I don’t
need to buy anything,’ she she explained to Henry. ‘I just look. It gives me a
whole new feeling about fashion. As Virginia Woolf said, it refreshes the
eye.’”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Google located the following from “Taylors and
Edgeworths” in <I>The Common Reader</I>:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“And so back and so forwards, he paces eternally the fields
of Sussex until, grown to an extreme old age, there he sits in his Rectory
thinking of Newman, thinking of Miss Biffen, and making - it is his great
consolation - string bags for missionaries. And then? Go on looking. Nothing
much happens. But the dim light is exquisitely refreshing to the
eyes.”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It’s not a very satisfactory match. Is there a better Woolf
source?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As is often the case, I learned something while searching;
that “missionary bag” is a standard term. “Missionary string bag” less so;
Google does give some hits, although the accompanying pictures are not of string
bags.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now that plastic carrier bags are frowned on or banned, the
string bags I remember from the 1950s in the UK may make a modest
come-back.<o:p></o:p></P>
