The sacredness possessions must always be respected, of course, and, if a child Is made to feel in his toys are on the same level as the cups out of which his guests drink, there is bound to be trouble.
I suggest that you talk the matter over with him beforehand, and that you make the proposal that great treasures should be put away, but that he himself should try to think out some method of amusing his guyals. If the choice is left to himself you will find that he whit roon begin to cater for their entertainment.
