SOCIETY l j Party of Omahans Hold Up Ocean Liner ______ Two small traveling cases mislaid In Montreal by two Omaha women were the cause of the steamship Doric sailing late for Liverpool, out of Montreal last week. The women were part of a group touring the east together, which In cluded Mrs. Mary A. Foley, Mrs. M. P. Kane. Miss Phoebe Hunt, Spanish teacher In Omaha schools: Miss Ethel E.

At Montreal they had passage to Quebec on the seagoing Doric, and 15 minutes before sailing time the missing luggage was discovered,— missing. Louts Bock gallantly said he’d get It, and his father said he'd persuade the captain to wait If the son couldn’t make the boat in time. A load of hay, tangled with the younger Bock’s taxi, en route, and when he arrived at the wharf he found the liner pulling away after a flve-mlnute wait. The gangplank, already drawn aboard, was thrown out again by the men, and young Mr. Bock, In the best movie style, made a flying leap across four feet of water with the cheers of 500 passengers ringing in his ears. -v | Personals Miss Frances Nleman and Miss Helen Nleman spent the week-end In Sioux Falls, S.
