DAS United Press International Gangtok, Sikklm-(UP&-A 22-year-old post-deubtante, Hope Cooke of New York and Sarah Lawrence college, Ls about to wed the Crown Prince of this tiny Buddhist kingdom in the sky that borders with Tibet and India. Before the wedding March 20 in an Oriental chapel be neath the snow-cooled shades of the Himalayas, members of the bride's party will do mock battle on the palace lawn with the followers of Maharajahkumar P a 1 d e n Thorndup Namgyal, 40. The outcome is fixed. The bridegroom's party will win (the prince thinks it pretty silly but is going along with tradition of the days when men of Sikkim fought for the few choice women available). When they enter the chapel, they may be accompanied only by those who have been screened and cleared by Royal Sikkimese astrologers who have studied horoscopes of the guests and ruled out those which do not "harmonize with the wedding couple's. Miss Cooke will thereupon become the first American Kir) to Join the ranks of royal. ty since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier in 1936. As wife of the Crown Prince in this Yellowstone park sized na tion,, she will rank the social equal of Princess Grace and slightly above the Duchess of Windsor. Fate Unknown Little Sikkim, with fewer than 169,000 people, has a mountainous border with Ti bet, now controlled by the Red Chinese, and its own fate is far from secure. By treaty, India bears re sponsibility for Sikkim's de fense, communications and foreign affairs. The . protec torate's day-to-day , adminis tration is handled by a New Delhi-appointed prime minis ter and the Maharajahkumar and his elderly father are su preme only in religious af fairs. Miss Cooke, a brown-haired, bright-eyed girl, met her fi ance, a 40-year-old widower with three children, while travelling with college friends In India in 1059. They found they had much in common. The Crown Prince had re ceived a western education under English tutors; Miss Cooke had a surprising knowl ede of Oriental history and culture. Corrospondi After her return to New York, the couple correspond ed and, when the prince pro- posed, Miss Cooke accepted. The Maharajahkumar made formal announcement of the engagement in 1061, but the court astrologers ruled out a wedding in 1062 (a "black year" for marriages) and the couple set the ceremony for 1063. A royal wedding commit tee is now arranging accom modations for nearly 15,000 Sikkimese who will converge on Gangtok by March 20. All will be treated as royal guests and provided food and shelter These caravans will include Mandarins and Monks, wcatlv er-bcatcn and withered with age, spinning their prayer wheels and philosophically sniffing at the winds of change that are blowing over the Himalayas.

On entering the Palace Gompa (chapel), the bride will place a white scarf on the altar, signifying her desire to wed. Then the high priest will conduct prayers in Sans. krit. An hour-long chanting of hymns from Buddhist scrip tures and calling out of geneo logical tables of bride and bridegroom will follow. The ceremony will be supplement ed by a civil marriage reg istration. The occasion is climaxed with the royal couple buried nosc-deep under a heap of spotless while silken scarves, offered by relatives and guests. Dancing, drinking and ban queting goes on for four days. "This is going to be a long and tiring thing," the prince said recently.
