It is shown that the model of the circumstellar dust envelope with the size of particles changing in time explains several observed characteristics of the photometric and colorimetric behavior of PU Vul at the stage of circumstellar dust envelope formation. These characteristics include the time-dependent light minima in various spectral bands, the reddening of the star during the decline of light and the bluing in the area of minimal brightness, the rapid light and color variations at the light minimum, and certain characteristics of the color-magnitude diagram. From the comparison of the calculated curves and the observed data, it is concluded that the deep minimum of 1980 was caused by the formation, near the hot component of the system, of a circumstellar envelope of silicate particles, which grew from molecular size to the size of interstellar particles with a mean growth rate of 0.001 micron/day.
