A Marrying Administration"


During the Wilson Administration
It seemed as though Dan Cupid
must have taken up his station on
the steps Of the Executive Mansion.
President Wilson's second marriage
to Mrs. Norman Gait was In
dubitably white House wedding,
although the ceremony took place at
Mrs. Cats little house in Twentieth
street. II was preceded by the mar
rage Of two Of the Presidents
daughters - Miss Jessie woodrow

and Miss Eleanor Wilson. VINO be-
came Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdoo being then Secretary OK

Alice Gertrude Gordon, friend and
ward by affection" Of Mrs. Wilson;
and several years later Miss Edith
Benham, social secretary at the
White House, resigned her post to
wed Rear Admiral J. NJ. Helm. Miss
Alice Wilson, a niece Of the Pres
ident, was also a White House bride.
her marriage to young clergyman
named McElroy taking place in tie
historic blue room. Even the White
House staff seemed to catch the In
lection and every few months the
name Of one or another OF the at
taches would appear in the papers
either as a bride or a benedict.
The Cabinet apparently took its
cue from the White House. Be-
ginning, II memory serves, with the
marriage of Miss Mona McAdoo and
Ferdinand de MohrenschDd and end
ing with the marriage Of Miss Nancy
Lane and Philip H. Kaufman. the
list Of Cabinet weddings' OF the
Wilson Administration is long
one. While her father was Post
master General, Miss Lucy Burleson
was married to Charles Green
Grimes, Of Dayton, Ohio, and Miss
Mary Archer Glass became Mrs.
John G. Boatwright while her father
was Secretary Of the Treasury.
Miss Mary Wilson, daughter Of the
Secretary Of Labor, was married
during her fathers term, 80 wero
one or two OF the Wilson boys; and
young Humphrey Redfield took unto
himself a wife during the period
that william c. Redfield was Sec
rotary of Commerce.
