Abstract:
   1003 V measurements of {beta} Cas divided into three observing seasons are 
   discussed. Their analysis performed with both the Vanicek least-squares and
   the classical O-C methods led us to the confirmation of the monoperiodic 
   pulsation. All the photometry available on {beta} Cas (spanning 25 years) 
   was also analyzed; the amplitude of the light curve was found to be 
   constant, while a small period variability can be inferred.
