Solution

Mrs. Slater was a very superficial and cunning woman. She plans to outshine the Jordans by wearing a new mourning dress. She thought that her sister Mrs. Jordan wouldn't think of wearing a new mourning dress and so she would look better than her sister. Mrs. Slater is not concerned about the death of her father but about her appearance. This shows that she is such an emotionless and ungrateful woman.
