Many Suitors to Choose From.

The' Paris correspondent of the * Chicag 0 Times ' writes :— I hear that Mile. Marth c Soucares, the charming young lady who won the first prize in the beauty shpw of Spa, has received within the past week no less than 100 and odd pffers of marriage from 1 bankers and young scions of our titled aristocracy. There are, I am told, ten 'marquises and a dozen counts and viscounts in'the field for the lady's hand. She has not yet made 1 her choice, but it is said that she will pick out the lucky man from the belted knights of the Faubourg St. Germain. Mile. Soucares is a native of Guadeloupe, and is a dusky-.skinned, dark-eyed blonde, possessing a faultless form and a figure a little over the average height. She has, it seems, a very graceful head', which might tempt the brush of the most eclectic of painters. She wore fat Spa a rose-coloured robe, the 'bust of which was adorned' with bouquets 1 a la'lJbuis XV., the handiwork' of one' of the most fashionable coutourieres of the Ruede la'Paix. The Spa 'jury appeared to have had a decided weakness for blondes, nearly all'bf vvhom'were favourites at the exhibition. The show itself was, however, a failure.
