Holmden (daughter of Sir Robert and Lady Stout) has lately arrived in England from Mesopotamia with her small son, states a London correspondent Major Holmden, who is at Bagdad, hopes to leave on furlough for England later this year. Mrs. Holinc<en was obliged to leave Mesopotamia owing to the troubles in that country, but she came away with regret, having found the life full of interest.
