OH! I remember what I was gonna say!

CHRISMUS=phonetic spelling of CHRISTMAS
Madame CHRISTMAS actually = Madame CHRIS MUS(tang)
The addition of her title only reinforces in my mind that she really is a whore and not a hostess club owner, although admittedly I don't know anything about hostess clubs in Japan, so maybe they have the same moniker? idk. At any rate, in 1910's there was no such thing, only brothels. And that's my head canon and I'm sticking to it!
Etymology for the win!? I think so!
