THE QUEEN'S LACE HANDKERCHIEF (DAS SPITZENTUCH DER KÖNIGIN) is an operetta by Johann Strauss II (1825-1899).

When the count finds a handkerchief from the writer's pocket embossed with an amorous message from the queen, a scandal ensues, but Cervantes finds a clever way to reunite the royal couple.
