LETTERS IN HUFF
At NJ COMBS
REFUSAL
Rich Relatives of Bride, Ambitious
for Social Entire, Wanted Him
To Be Ambassador.
By c. r. BERTELLI.

PARIS, Nov. 27.-The final refusal
Of William r. McCombs to accept the
Ambassadorship 20 France has
greatly displeased the Letter family,
according to information given me TO-
day by n man high in American diplo-
matte circles Mrs. McCombs was
Miss Dorothy Williams, OF Washing
ton. and her sister is Mrs. Jose pm
Letter.
Joseph Letter, who is now cruising
in the Mediterranean, expected that
after Mr.. MCCombs was married he
would see his way clear to reconsider
his first refusal OF the post and, az
cording TO my informant the Lett
ers counted upon Mr.. McCombs rank
as Ambassador to lift them to a great
social prominence, both in the United
States and Europe. They were es-
peciaIly anxious to obtain entree to
the dazzling courts OF Europe
Mr. McCombs said the original and
graVest obstacle in the way OF his
accepting President Wilson's offer
was his inability to meet the none
tary obligations the post entails Ny
informant said this was true, ana
added that Mrs. McCombs did not
possess a great fortune to aid her
husband in keeping up the Embassy.
Shortly before the wedding took
place" said my informant "Mr. Lett
er declared himself. to be more than
willing to finance Mr. McCombs sor
any length OF time he chose to stay
in the diplomatic service OF course,
Mr. Letter was forced to explain his
reason for such an offer, and while
Mr.. McCombs might be willing TO ac-
cept financial assistance from his
wife in order that she might enjoy
the social life. he revolted at the cold
blooded proposition. He declared
that he could not bring himself 10
become the social stalking horse for
wealthy relative by marriage.
His independent attitude in this
matter did not endear him any to the
Letter family, whose alliance with
English nobility through the marriage
of Miss Mary Letter to Lord Curzon
has already proved a keen disap-
pointment in a social sense, as well
as a financial drain
