The IUE observations of BD + 13 deg 3224 are discussed. Luminosity varies by 33% of the maximum on a 0.1 day period. Plane-paralled LTE atmospheres in hydrostatic equilibrium indicate a mean effective temperature of 26.200 + or - 1000 K, log g = 4.0 + or - 0.2 and a hydrogen abundance of n(H)/n(He) = 0.01 (by number). Effective temperature and angular radius variations were obtained by interpolation between two LTE models. Coupling these results with ground-based radial velocity observations gives a stellar radius of 1.42 + or - 14R. The observed range in effective temperature is 4200 K, the observed radius variation being 0.167R. Temperature and pressure changes in the envelope suggest ionization to be important in the pulsation.
