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."

budget tip: Substitute canned
mackarel for salmon next time
you make a salmon loaf. The
family probably won't notice the
difference, and the mackarel
costs about one-third as much.

Economist Declares
Frozen Foods Costly
Champaign, 111. U.R) Ready-to-serve
frozen foods are" easy
to cook, but sometimes hard on
the budget compared with kitchen-prepared
products.
Mrs. Glenna Lamkin, Univer
sity of Illinois home economist
said a "study showed .that a home
made apple pie costs about 44
cents. A frozen one costs about
69 cents. Texture and appear
ance often fail to meet good qual
ity standards, too, she said. She
said that the best use of com
mercially frozen foods is as
"emergency dishes" and to add
variety to the menu.

The plain truth is that I've found
