Abstract
The light of Nova Delphini 1967 has intrinsic linear polarization, with both a small-amplitude fluctuation with a time-scale of days and a secular variation with a time-scale of months. Rotation of the plane of polarization with time, arising from the interaction of intrinsic and interstellar polarization, is present, but too small to allow a confident evaluation of the interstellar component. A few observations of Nova Vulpeculae 1968 suggest that it also has variable polarization.
