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.
