Frau Wette intended to arnnge the story in'dramatic form for the amule- ment of her children, her brother lending his cooperation by writing a few little melodies, of a simple na- ture, to accompany the performance. When he hsd read it, however, the story took his fancy, and its drama. tic. possibilities " appealed to him that he determined to give it an op- eratic setting with full orchestral More, He thus applied to this simple little story of angels, witches and the two babes in the wood the same musical methods whieh Wegner has employed in telling the stories of rods and demigods.

They were alarmed at first but decided it w" the "wind" and went on nibbling. Then the door opened and the ugly, old witch appeared.
