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.
