Atmospheric parameters and abundances of 25 elements were determined from two spectrograms of TU Cas (with dispersion 9 Å/mm) obtained in 1977 and 1990. We find Teff= 5860 - 6000K; logg = 1.0 - 1.5; and vt = 2.9 - 5.3 km/s.

The value of [Fe/H] ∼ -0.5 testifies to the fact that TU Cas is deficient in metals compared with other double-mode Cepheids. More exact values of [Fe/H] for 9 double-mode Cepheids in the Southern Hemisphere (Barrell 1982), V367 Set (a member of the open cluster NGC 6649) and our value for TU Cas all show a good correlation with P1/P0. As the atmospheric Fe abundance increases, the ratio P1/P0 decreases.

Our measured values for abundances (in brackets) of various elements in the atmosphere of TU Cas are: C (8.26), Na (6.32), Mg (7.07), Si (6.85), S (6.96), Ca (5.88), Sc (2.71), Ti (4.34), V (3.35), Cr (5.29), Mn (4.92), Fe (6.94), Co (4.47), Ni (5.70), Zn (3.63), Sr (2.00), Y (2.17), Zr (2.21), Ba (1.41), La (1.08), Ce (0.96), Nd (0.82), Sm (0.42), Eu (1.04), and Gd (0.92).
