What details does Edie notice about Alice Kelling, and why do you think those qualities were important to Edie?

In reply to #1:

When Alice shows up with Loretta Bird, Edie notices that Alice's figure is not very attractive, with her bust looking "rather low and lumpy." Edie also notices that Alice's face has a worried look. Her permed hair had grown out, and she had pulled it back with a hair band to keep it under control. Edie thinks there is not one thing "in the least pretty or even young-looking about her." Because Edie is attracted to Chris and very interested in him, it makes Edie feel better to see that her "competition" isn't that impressive.
