By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York The Duchess of Windsor began to tell the story of her life today, disclosing that Great Britain still would be ruled by" King Edward VIII "had I had my way, when at the eleventh hour full understanding finally came to me." The autobiography, ends her 20-year public silcene on her private life and "gives an in sight into why I did some of the things I did.". The first installment appeared yesterday in McCall's Magazine under the title "My Side of the Story." It will be published next fall as a book, "The Heart Has Its Reasons." "Over the years the truth has been largely clouded over by a great mass of misinformation, un informed speculation and gos sip," the Duchess said in a state ment released to reporters at a cocktail party Monday in which she appeared for the first time in the role" of author. "I have decided," the state ment continued, "that it is only right for me to set down for trie Tecord the complete story of life before and after my mar riage to the duke." The duke also came to . the champagne and caviar party, and after greeting the 200 guests in the receiving line joined her at a table to autograph copies of the magazine. ' He signed "Ed ward, Duke of Windsor" and she signed "Wallis Windsor." "I'm very proud of her," the duke 'said, when he was asked how he felt about his wife be coming an author. The duchess candidly apprais ed herself in her .autobiography as a woman "content to live for the hour . . . more often than not in definance of the maxim of never- leaping before taking a prudent look." Her marriage, she said,' "has presented me with what surely must be one of the .most unusual problems any woman has ever had to face how- to fill the hours for a husband who, hav ing previously known the full ness of prestige and pomp, is excluded, by reason of his royal position, from the normal pur suits of the ordinary citizen." The duke and duchess both got mixed up when they began autographing copies of the mag azine which carried the first installment of the autobiography of the duchess. They sat side by side at a table in - the Waldorf Astoria Hotel obligingly signing copies until suddenly the duchess burst out laughing. She had signed "Wal lie Warfield," her maiden name, instead of Wallis Windsor." The duke, a few minutes later, quickly took back a copy of the magazine he had just autopraph ed, showed it to the duchess, and they both laughed. " He had singed, "Edward, Duke of Wales," instead of "Edward, Duke of Windsor."
