Fairies

In the first chapter of The Hobbit when the Took family's history is described, it mentions fairies.

Quote:

"It was often said (in other families) that long ago one of the Took ancestors must have taken a fairy wife."

What exactly is meant by fairy here? Is it just used as a synonym for elf? Or is it referring to something completely different?
