elf it isbeautiful and attractive, and, when one fully understandsthe chimerical nature of its presentments, knows its un-reality, yields not to its deceptive persuasiveness, believesnot its promises that will never be fulfilled, it is as harm-less as a babys smile. Mirages are as many and as varied as are men. Thereare thousands of different kinds or types. To merelyattempt to suggest them all is impossible.
