HE modern woman needs so little 'in the way of underwear, but that "little" must be oh! so right if she would have perfect freedom
of movement and at the same time no ridges, bumps or slipped shoulder-straps to mar the appearance of the fashionable frock on top.
Vesta and knickers, quite frankly, aru going to be the main topic of conversa- tion to-day. You can have a choice of material--all wool, wool and rayon, fancy rib, cotton and rayon and cosy interlock.
This you must decide for yourself, if you are a chilly mortal or no. But I can guide you on shape.
Whichever you choose, buy three all alike, for it in this chopping and changing from thin to thick underwear which is re- sponsible for many chills.
In order to help you I have had aketched tive necklines for different types of figures. First the average figure. You take first place In the world of fashion, Vests or combina- Lions with brassière tops ensure that neat look to the top half of your dresses.
When the waist is inclined to aprend a little, although hips and bust are normal proportions, choose a style with a ribbed waistline, so that you do not get the slightest wrinkle under your frock.
Sports Shoulders
Next comes the freedom loving young girl, who really cannot bother with shoulder
traps.
She is always breaking them, any- way. For her I recommend the rounded Lop shown in the third sketch, and her undies will always remain neat and trim.
The really plump figure whose measures are above the average often finds that shoulder straps strain and cut into the flesh.' If you like comfort in your undies go for a built-up shoulder with either a rounded or V-shaped neck.
Dainty winter undies are not expensive when chosen wisely. Take the well-known

The Vedonis tailored knicker is made in lightly ribbed, very durable fabric that wil stand up to any amount of wear, in cream. tea rose, black, and many other good shades.
For women who need plenty of room to sit down in there is a special shape called the K style. It is really admirably designext; pro- riding plenty of roominess without disturbing the taitured cutline.
Before ending, a fast word about the eosy drearing gown in a smort Cossack style that fastens annrtly up into the week in bright, chrony culmues such as dark saxe, green, enral or cardinal.

All down the ages woman has devoted more thought to her com- plexion than to any other aspect to her uppearance. As she walks along the street the contents of the shop windowa do not claim her undivided attention. Uppermost in her mind, in splie of the tantalising bargains on view, is her reflection in the plate glass.

Passing requires close study. It is a constructive phase of football, not a means of getting rid of the ball when hard pressed.

Long & Short Passes
The greatest element of surprise, in Inet, may be said to rest in speedy and accurate passing.
There are two kinds of passes, long and short. The number of variations of each may be said to be infinite and entirely dependent on the mood of the inement and the run of the play.
In all instances a pass should never be made without duo consideration being given to the movements of the player to whom the ball should travei and those of the opposition.
If (na ta usual) the paas is received on the run, the pinyer about to make the pass should aim to kick the ball to

A WORD on PASSING
by "Soccer Coach"
The opposition may defeat his plans.
the estimated position to which ha team mate's run will take him while the ball is in motion.
Make it a practice to kick ahead of d player, so that he can snap up the bail on the run without much checking of speed.
Another thing a really clever player will master is the art of concealing his Intentions-otherwise the opposition which is always on the look out may defeat ils plans.
He will make his passes in a crisp and decided manner, and with the minimum waste of time.
He will not "telegraph" his moves by obviously looking for the man to whom he must pass; nor will be fumble about getting the ball in position for such a pa54.
The long pass is a straightforward kick with the inaten and, wherever possible, it should be made to hug the ground. A high kick may look spea
tacular, but actually is the Icast useful.
The other pass, the short one, is divided into two main phases, passes with (n) the in- side of the foot and - (b) the outside.
In passing with the inside of the foot the side the in- step la used and not the main joint of the big toe. The in- step presents a hollow which has a steadying influence on the bail.
From the big toe jakt, on the other hand, the bati is liable to bounce almost any- where.

It will be found that it pre- sents the clever player with many opportunities to make use of deceptive body-swaying.
