MISS ELEAN'OU WILSON.
ELEANOR WILSON ENGAGED
Youngest Daughter of President to
. , Marry Secretary McAdoo.
The White House is to have its four
teenth wedding this summer, probably
in June.
Formal announcement of the en
gagement of the president's youngest
daughter, Eleanor, to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo was given out.
With rumors of various kinds going
around It was decided that it would
be inadvisable further to withhold con
firmation of the engagement.
Although all doubt was removed as
to existence of the r.gagement some
Indecision was felt b" the president's
family as to making an announcement
because of Mrs. Wilson's health.
Mr. Wilson's frlend.i believed strong
ly, however, that a't announcement
ought to be made immediately in order
to discredit reports circulated that ob
jection to the match had been raised
by the president, by Mrs. Wilson and
by Miss Nona McAdoo. the secretary's
twenty-year-old daughter, who has
acted as the mistress of hla official
residence for the past year.
While no formal announcement of
the date for the weildlng could be
made because of the baste with which
It was decided to make known the
engagement it Is understood that the
ceremony will be performed in two
or three months. A day early in June
Is expected to be chosen.
The Wilson-McAdco wedding will
be the second White House weddinz
of President Wilson'R administration.
