Mrs. Mary Small, director of the course since it started, ad- Lady Fare Lebanon Daily News, 25 Friday, April 18,1975 Births By MARIAN CHRISTY NEW YORK Artist Jamie Wyeth. the 28- year-old glamour boy whose paintings get S7.500-S40.000 per canvas, is excitedly talking about his escape hatch a Victorian house minus telephone where he retires in solitary splendor to paint five months out of the year. The house, perched on the edge of Monhegan Island, is 15 miles off the Maine coast.

It's the place Jamie sees forever: "The silence is golden. The peace is exhilarating. The tempo is Utopia. And yet. to my utter delight.

I find the islanders have the same motivations. the same emotions and the same ambitions as people anywhere. Everything and everybody is in the sharpest possible Tall-blond-handsome Jamie, son of world-famous Andrew Wyeth and a successful painter who has followed his father's realistic style, is married to the former Phyllis Mills of Virginia. She's a beautiful blonde who's seven years his senior. While Jamie is working on the island, his wife stays at their New York apartment, at the Recent Bride Mrs.

Robert Schott was married in the Jonestown Bible Church (IGMR Chapel). The bride is the former Jill M. Kent of 147 W. Main Myerstown, daughter of Mrs. Dorothy A.

Kent of Jonestown. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood T. Schott of Myerstown.

Wyeth studio in Chadds Ford. or goes to Washington where she works for The National Endowment for the Arts. Every so often, she visits Jamie in Maine. On being married to an older woman who leads her own life: "The difference in age means nothing. Phyllis is a beautiful, independent woman who doesn't look upon my career as a way of identifying herself.

We have what might be called an Open Marriage. She's into her own life. The kind of job I do requires that each of us spend a lot of time alone. She doesn't make demands on me. Besides, she's fathomless.

I feel as if I'll never really know her! I've seen couples sit across each other at a dinner table and not say a word for hours. If I found myself in that situation, I'd quickly jump out of the nearest window. You see. Phyllis and I talk. ReaUy Talk." Jamie, like his father, is known for landscapes which zero in and detail one particular object.

But lately, he has gotten more and more into portrait painting. Before he starts sketching, however, he spends 24-hours-a-day shadowing his subject and. to quote him. absorbs the personality via osmosis. "The individual lifestyle of the subject is just as important as his features," says Jamie who recently painted a 6-by-10-foot lifesize portrait of movie producer Joe Levine.

"The life a person leads is reflected in the shape of his nose and the curve of his mouth." says Jamie. About Levine's reaction to the definitive canvas: "Actually he was mortified with the way it turned out," says Jamie who insists his subjects sign a contract which gives the artist permission to destroy the canvas if and when he desires. "Mr. Levine bought his portrait," he says, "but I really showed him the way 1 found him tough." Democratic Jamie, who has stumped around the country campaigning for every Kennedy who ever ran for public office, says that Jean Kennedy Smith is one Kennedy he loved "doing." On his favorite subject: "Her features aren't technically perfect but she has incredible sparkle and that makes her beautiful." Jamie admits he has painted and destroyed canvases of President John F. Kennedy.

"The man is far more than a martyr. That idea of him is much too romantic. He was a strong man who couldn't be pushed around. A painting of President Kennedy must reflect his hardiness." During the Watergate trials, Harper's magazine hired Jamie to sketch the electric and controversial goings-on. A publisher is presently contracting with Jamie to put the sketches in book form.

"The element of recording has gone out of painting," says Jamie. "No photographers were a owed at the hearings so my sketches now take on great visual impact." Jamie's presence bugged the defendants. On John D. Ehrlichman: "He draws and he was intrigued by my presence. Whenever there were breaks, he'd come over and show enormous curiosity about the sketches.

He asked often exactly WHY I was there." OnG. Gordon Liddy: "It was a great temptation to draw him in caricature because he was absolutely straight and in utter control. No matter what was said, he maintained a stone- faced expression." But. once, he lost his cool. When Ehrlichman came into the room.

Liddy leaped to his feet and saluted the man who had been his commanding officer. It was an impromptu, mind-blowing gesture of respect for authority." On H. R. Haldeman: guy winced a lot." "That Jamie, who dropped out of school in the sixth grade to paint, wears custom-made clothes by London tailor Michael Skinner. "But when I'm in Maine I go barefoot and wear only blue jeans.

When I finally put on a full suit of clothes, I feel as if I'm in costume!" During his formative years, he was tutored privately. He's well read. What bothers him is being compared to his father. "I'm my own man," he says. "The painter is not the product I'm selling," says Jamie about his star status.

"The product is the painting. Actually I find painting a very difficult career. I'm not a very good technician. It's a constant fight to transpose my ideas on a piece of paper. But, then, nothing is as exciting to me as painting.

Are there other ant ique bookmarks we could find" 7 A. Bookmarks started almost with the beginning of printed books. They were made of cloth, leather or parchment during the 15th century. By the 19th century, the bookmark was in common use with silver, silverplate, silk, cardboard, paper, wood, gold, or leather marks being used. The L.

Prang and Company, known for their greeting cards, madv. lithographed bookmarks from about 1875 and Raphael Tuck also made woven silk bookmarks. The Stevengraph ribbon pictures were famous and the bookmarks made by the same company are equally desirable. The paper clip-like bookmarks of metal or celluloid were developed during the late 19th century and were often elaborately decorated and were sometimes expensive. During the late 19th and early 20th century, many bookmarks were printed with ads on the back.
