(This picture isn't of them in Paris. I don't know what happened, and I can't seem to make it smaller or delete it. It doesn't show up when I go into the blog for preview. Sorry, dear readers.)
In Paris, Mr. Wilson was clearly stunned by the savagery of the Great War and wanted the Germans to pay for it. Mr. Wilson didn’t want it to be revenge, but more a reconciliation between all nations. He also wanted more knowledge of situations and circumstances. He felt that America needed input in European affairs.

A sense of isolationism was growing in America at that time. His sculpting of the League of Nations earned him the Nobel Peace Prize. First Lady Mrs. Wilson was beside him at the conference, and she was one of the first First Ladies to travel as an American ambassador.

When they left the White House in March 1921, they resided in Washington. Mr. Wilson died in 1924, and she remained in her home, delighting Washingtonians. She’d visit the White House and was friends with most inhabitants, including Jackie Kennedy. She rode in the Kennedy inaugural parade at age 90.
It's good that she was able to meet Jackie and be in the parade. I wouldn't worry about the picture, it looks fine.
