Article profiling the needlework of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., whose embroidery won the award for best piece at the Vernay Galleries exhibition in New York. It discusses her petit point and gros point panels, including a sampler of animals hunted on her husband's expeditions, a market scene, a threefold monkey screen, and a miniature bird table screen that won a 1934 gold star award. The author comments on her mixing of stitches, her modern designs, and practical problems such as matching imported wool colors. Two plates illustrate the sampler and the table screen.
