BÉCARRE _is the latest title for Parisian dandies_; and the term is also used to replace the now well-worn expression “chic.” The “bécarre” must be grave and sedate after the English model, with short hair, high collar, small moustache and whiskers, but no beard. He must always look thirty years of age; must neither dance nor affect the frivolity of a floral button-hole nor any jewellery; must shake hands simply with ladies and gravely bend his head to gentlemen. “Bécarre--being translated--is ‘natural’ in a musical sense.”--_Graphic, Jan. 2, 1886_.
