An artistically planned story of the power of music to produce beautiful waking dreams. In this case a young artist at the piano charms the Muse of Melody into appearance at his own poor quarters. Here she magically changes the costume of his wife to a luxurious gown and her shoes, hat, etc., likewise undergo marvelous transformation. The muse then converts these rich habits into articles of decoration for the rooms. As the music gradually ceases the gifts of the fairy also fade until when the artist ceases to play on the piano all the old ugliness of the room has returned.
