A big hat tip with a flourish to Girl Scout Gone Bad for finding this wonderful early reference to the above moniker...

[This article was an item about the surprise announcement of a

long-standing engagement of some European notables, and included a

first-person account of M. Reszke's fiancee]



Jean De Reszke's Fiancee



...I have been engaged for seven years to the Comtesse de Donlaine,

the divorced Comtesse de Maillu-Nesle.



..My fiancee is devoted to the theater...She has a beautiful voice,

and is perhaps the best amateur singer in Paris.



...Her personal appearance? She is a Venetian blond...
