Dating in 1957

The Date Line: Facts & Fancies for the Girl in School, by Jan Landon (from the November 1957 issue of Good Housekeeping) has this bright-but-odd glimmer of dating in the 50's.

"Fix-up files" are made by Midwest girls to simplify arranging blind dates... they're wallet albums of their girl friends' pictures with statistics and interests listed on the back for the benefit of inquiring boys...

As a collector, I'd love to find one of those wallet albums.
