We present fax UV observations of Pleione made with the IUE satellite at two epochs: in 1979, when the star exhibited a strong shell spectrum and, in 1991, when it showed a Be-type spectrum. Between these two epochs, the 2200 Å bump changed dramatically, thus, rendering it inadequate for interstellar extinction/distance determination.
