New York Girl to Wed Oriental Prince
By A. K. 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

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

Gangtok, capital of Sikkim,
will make out fine in her new
surroundings.
"Hopey was always a little
out of place in the west,"
said one of her classmates at
exclusive Sarah Lawrence
College for Women. "She's al
ways been crazy about the
Orient and will feel right at
home on a cloud." .
The crown prince is the
second son of his highness Sir
Tashi Namgyal, the present
Maharajah. His elder brother,
a Royal Air Force pilot, was
killed in a crash in 1941.
The Maharajah k u m a r is
clean-shaven, handsome
Asian who wears ankle
length Mandarin coals over
western-style trousers. Born
"rimpoehe" or incarnate
Lama, he spent much of his
early lifo in a monastery.
He gave up his cloistered
life when his brother died.
Although not a playboy, the
crown prince loves fast sports
cars, the twist and music, both
Indian and western.
He has two sons and a
daughter, aged 10, D and 7,
born of his first Tibetan wife
who died in 1057.
