Bonwit Teller's ace, Costa Rica-born designer Tom Lee, most respected of all Fifth Avenue window-display men, inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's forthcoming China Trade show, filled his windows with elegant Chinoi-series, including two life-size rag-doll horses. Swank Jeweler Marcus' veteran designer, W. B. Okie Jr., surrounded a terra cotta madonna with Easter lilies and pearls.

Consequently, one man will just be getting in the mood, when he's through. However, Cootie Williams and Coleman Hawkins make the date outstanding... Earl Hines' distinctive barrelhouse piano is graced...
