At the same time, he was writing for various American newspapers as a correspondent.    Shippey told two versions of how he became acquainted with Madeleine Babin, the French woman for whom he eventually left his wife. =====The 1920 version===== On November 1, 1918, the 34-year-old Shippey met the 20-year-old Madeleine, who, with her family, was placing flowers on the graves in the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial|American cemetery in Suresnes, France. In a column that was later published in newspapers across the country "that the real and ungarbled truth may be known of the famous 'war triangle,' " Shippey wrote that: "For ten months our friendship grew. I came to love the whole family. May 1, 1919, when I was notified that my hotel was to be closed, I went to their home to board, and there was taken into the most beautiful family life I have ever seen.

The next day Croy arranged for the two young women to work as interpreters in the organization for which he was the Paris production manager, the Community Motion Picture Bureau. After the war ended on November 11, 1918, Shippey found his income so reduced 'that I could not afford to keep the hotel room Croy and I had shared unless I could get another roommate.' By that time, Georges Babin had died, so Mrs. Babin and Shippey agreed that the latter would rent a room in the Babin apartment. She [Madeleine] and Georgette called me Grand Frere [Big Brother], and thought of me only as an elder brother. Madeleine was fifteen years my junior and seemed younger, and I couldn't be such a fool as to imagine she could think of me in any other way. Besides, it would be tragic if she could, for I was pledged to a woman of my own age back home, a woman so gifted and admirable in many ways that I had set her on a pedestal, though also so temperamental and fond of dramatizing that we quarreled often." The end of Shippey's feelings for "the girl back home" came when he received a furious letter from her "full of violent accusations.
