Abstract
Polarimetric observations of stars located in the young clusters NGC 6611 and NGC 225 are used to attempt detection of circumstellar envelopes. While many stars show relatively large polarization values, the observed polarization appears to' be primarily interstellar in origin. No evidence is found to support the contention of Reddish (1967) that the most luminous members of young clusters are surrounded by circumstellar envelopes.
