A polarization study of the Mira variable R Tri provides evidence that long-period (regular) variable stars exhibit significant linear polarization variations across some of their molecular bands and atomic lines. The presence of this polarization/wavelength structure has been detected in the semiregular variable Mu Cep. Data are presented for narrow-band polarimetry of some special features and for correlated simultaneous high resolution spectrophotometry from 4500 to 8500 A. Variations in degree of linear polarization and position angle occur accross the stronger molecular (TiO) absorption bands in the yellow and red spectral regions of both stars.
