Fairy.

Oh, I am Santa Claus’ Fairy!

I’m the Dreams-of-Christmas Fairy!

Where a little child lies sleeping

[Tiptoes to bedside.]

I come softly, softly creeping

And I weave my magic, so!

[Waves wand gently above little Maiden.]

Dream-dust, dream-dust on her eyes

Make this maiden sweet to rise,—

Through the gates of Dreamland go!

With my fairy spell to wake you

[Maiden rises dreamily and is led slowly

toward the exit at left by the Fairy.]

To the Dream-toy Shop I’ll take you,

Where the Dream-toys dance and play

On the eve of Christmas day!

[Curtain]

SCENE II

ssss1

The Dream-toy Shop

[On the counter at background are a number of large toys, among them two little girls—one fair-haired, one dark—dressed as Dolls.

At the left of the counter stand two Soldier-boys with drums, paper caps, and epaulets.

At the right is a large, square, red box.

On the floor in front of the counter sits the black Kitty. He wears black tights, a little black jacket from beneath which his long tail curls, and a little black cap with pointed ears.
