the euphemisms “unmentionables,” “nether-garments,” “undergarments," under-

wear.” “Union-suit.” etc., the latter is of Civil War origin. Thereafter it was accepted as a logical designation for apparel of which the upper and lower garments

were of one piece.

The term was applied first to wearables thrust upon men. the majority of whom—North, South, East or West—did not wear those unmentionables, drawers, in earlier American days. Ladies did wear such unmentionables as well as layers of petticoats to aid in keeping them warm in the usually cold houses, churches, shops, and cushion them on benches, public carriages,

etc.

Insistence of the medical department of the Union army w as responsible for the requirement that aoldiers don underwear, also socks, as official parts of the uniform. Most of the Union soldiers scorned such sissified garb until ‘ government issue” became a must item, and they were convinced of its value. Such doctors as Jonathan Letterman {referred to in a previous number of this series] who gave studious attention to sanitation and disease prevention, reckoned that government issue of underwear and socks, and requirement that they be worn, would promote the comfort. well-being and, therefore, morale of the troops. Uniforms and shoes could not be changed and cleansed as handily as the underwear and socks. Fabric sewing machines that underwent successive improvements at the hands of Walter Hunt, Elias Howe, Jr. and others in the two decades before the war had brought forth “ready-to-wear” garments in unprecedented quantities. Similarly knitting machines had vastly multiplied supplies of relatively low cost materials for government-issue underwear. After the war “Union-suits” were firmly established in favor among men of all sorts. North and South, thanks to a thriving knitting industry and astute advertising. CLARK KMNAIRD
