Looks to me like President Woodrow Wilson's first wife, Ellen Axson Wilson, on the right.Wikipedia article. She died in 1914. I'll let someone else figure out which of the Wilson daughters this is.

Wilson's summer home in the first years of his presidency, which this must be from as the first Mrs. Wilson is still alive, was in Cornish, New Hampshire.

A story in the New York Times (July 6, 1913) reported that Wilson had seen the New Hampshire summer White House on that day, for the first time ever. On arrival, he kissed his wife, and his daughter, "Miss Eleanor." Eleanor is the girl in the photo. Daughter Jessie arrived later in the evening, with her fiance, Francis Sayre. Daughter Margaret, visiting in Madison, Wisconsin, was not present.
Here is the NYT story:

Barbara (LOC P&P) says:

Thanks for helping to sort out who is pictured and likely when. It does appear to be Pres. Wilson with Ellen Axson Wilson and daughter Eleanor. There's a nice photo of Jessie and Eleanor together that can be viewed in our online catalog: hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b36415 .

We'll add information to the description when we update the record.
