A preliminary orbit has been derived for the high luminosity, 27-d classical Cepheid T Mon. Velocities for the hot companion have been measured from an HST GHRS spectrum and 3 IUE spectra. The companion velocities are inconsistent with binary orbital motion and it is likely that the companion is itself a short period binary. The HST spectrum also shows that the companion is a chemically peculiar star, probably magnetic.
