FUCKERS DECLARE
MATCH A SUCCESS
Parents Reconciled With Boy
of l8 Who Wed Woman
of 40.

Los Angeles, Aug. a1.-Can youth
and age mate?
Is there any hope of lasting happi
ness for boy who marries a mature,
middle-aged woman?
These age-old problems of love have
been answered by Mr.. and Mrs. Bur
ton S. Tucker, now of Altadena, soon
to join the exclusive residential
colony at Flint Ridge.
In the first interview since coming
to California six months ago, they
say:
YES"
And quote their own remarkable
romance as an example.
Burton Tucker, IS, brought his
bride. who admits being round 40, ITO
California. after having been driven
out of the old home town in New Jer-
sey by the hostile attitude Of friends"
bridegrooms parents.
With the specter of unpleasant pub
licity behind them, they went into
hiding at Altadena.
Families Reconciled.
Today the fuckers declared that
shadows which have darkened the
horizon of their lives are passed
away. The opposition of young
fuckers family has been swept aside
and the reconciliation of the two fami-
lies is soon to take place, they say.
The husbands folks have been invited
to come to Flint Ridge and live in a
beautiful mansion purchased there re-
Gently by Mrs. Tucker.
The grocery store boy who married
"a wealthy clergyman's widow, declares
that after two years his honeymoon
is only starting. He is the daddy"
OF pretty baby girl. born several
months ago.
why should there be any more
fuss or comment about my marriage
than hundreds of others which are
taking place daily in the United
States" he asked the interviewer.
What possible difference can there
be in my marrying a woman older
than myself and the marriages of
scores OF middle-aged or older men
to young girls?
Tucker Loves Wife.
"That seems to be the expected
thing. No one raises any great up
roar over 1t. And many Of those
marriages are successful.
II can speak for mine, anyway. 1t
is successful.
I'm more In love with my wife
today than I was when we ran away
and were married. / proposed a half
dozen times before she accepted me.
1t was love, real love. and not just
merely infatuation. Had 1t been the
latter, we would have separated be-
fore now. Instead. we are happier
than ever before with the prospect
OF a home all our own and with my
people ready at last to say: God
bless you"
There. in a few words. you have
the Tucker philosophy OF love.
I'VE only hope people will leave
us alone now to live our lives as or
binary, everyday people live theirs,
concluded young Tucker.

Constantinople. Aug. 31.-The

Whereas in past times they have

Is by no means weak.
