Origin of D.S.¹

From Italian dal segno

We have had two days in the country with the D.s at their little hunting box at Bicester, one of the great hunting centres.

She had the weekly variety of a visit to the family of the D.s; and she had the frequent happiness of seeing “Mary” and Martha.

Strange as it may seem, the wily old fool was called into the august presence of three M. D.s, and a score of other counsellors.

Can "D.S.," or any of your readers, throw further light on the subject?
