Abstract
Evidence exists for mode energy changes in beat Cepheid variable stars over the 20-30 year interval during which photoelectric observations of the objects have been obtained. For TU Cas, Hodson, Stellingwerf and Cox (1979) have found that the first overtone amplitude has been decreasing with time from 0.4 to 0.25 mag over a 67 year timebase; these authors also included some early visual estimates in their analysis. For U TrA, Faulkner & Shobbrook (1979) have found that the first overtone pulsation has been increasing relative to the fundamental over a twenty year timebase.
