Fabrics, as well as colors, are on the wild side. Fur for rugs, pillows and even bedspreads is increasingly popular. For Vogue Publisher S. I. Newhouse Jr., Manhattan Decorator Billy Baldwin not only covered the hassocks with suede but even turned a pack of scavenging jackals into a luxurious rug. Busy patterns, thinks Bloomingdale's Interior Design Chief David Bell, will be increasingly used to make small apartment rooms appear bigger through trompe-l'oeil.

Also contesting is Miss Atwood's lawyer, Thomas Hart Fisher, who came up with the news that an earlier will had left the estate to him "in grateful recognition of the many years during which he has been my friend, counselor and attorney."
