b-59: thank you for finding more information about the group of men in the picture. We'll add it to the record.

William Gibbs McAdoo (1863–1941) was Woodrow Wilson's first Secretary of the Treasury, serving from 1913 until 1918. In 1914 he married Wilson's daughter, Eleanor. A native of Georgia and graduate of the University of Tennessee, he had a business career in New York prior to his service in Wilson's cabinet, and after leaving the administration he eventually moved to California where he was elected to the U.S. Senate, serving a single term beginning in 1933.

In February, 1914, the 52-year-old Secretary McAdoo dazzled social butterflies of Atlanta when he bounced around the dance floor in a demonstration of the tango -- the new (and scandalously tactile) craze from Argentina. New York Times story, February 16, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9804E... Later in the year, McAdoo, a widower, married Eleanor Wilson, a daughter of President Woodrow Wilson, who was 26 years his junior. (They divorced in 1934.)

She actually looks much better in a formal portrait (now at the LOC Harris & Ewing collection):

In her wedding dress:

The McAdoos were visiting the Princeton University campus on June 13, 1914, in the company of Mrs. McAdoo's father, U. S.
