DANCER TO WED HER COMO.V.''“Grlsaljr” Doixlkoy la Fiance ot MlaaRae Smell.From the San Francisco Bulletin.With the announcement of the engagement of Miss Rae Snell, beautiful classic dancer, to Chester Wolfskill Cooper, a member of the famous California regiment, the '‘Grizzlies,” a pretty godmother” romance of the war was brought to light.When America entered the great war, Miss Snell, who has been one of the foremost classic dancers of the West, and has twice gone over vaudeville circuits, starred in a pageant of dancing, forsook her professional triumphs to take up war work.In October, 1917, the Corona Club, with which she was working, asked its members to become “godmothers” to men in the service, and it fell to her lot to draw Cooper as a godson.” The meeting followed and the pair corresponded during all the months of Cooper’s training and while he was overseas. The result was that when the “Grizzlies” returned home the couple again met and a brief courtship culminated in their engagement.Miss Snell, who is now in Fresno, regaining her health, following an attack of Spanish influenza, has been one ofthe city’s most ardent war workers and through her efforts large sums have been raised for the Red Cross and Belgian relief at entertainments at the For-esters’ Club, Point Reyes and Inverness.Pretty romances run in the Snell family a few years ago, Hazel F. Snell, a sister of Rae, gave her name to receive postal cards from members of the American fleet, then on tour of the world Bernhard Schreiver took her and their friendship led to marriage.
