• March 12, 1881: Saint-Amand writes an article in "Le Sport" about the opening night of Patti's opera season, mentioning Marie: "très belle, type slave, très blonde, très suave, robe blanche avec guirlande de roses en sautoir" (very beautiful, Slavic type, very blonde, very graceful, white dress with garland of roses worn crosswise), noting she exhibited a much-remarked painting. Marie notes "Le Sport est très lu, c'est gentil" (Le Sport is widely read, that's nice).

Significance
