 It is further requested that if his daughter Helen is not 25 years of age at the death of his widow he decrees that her share of the $100,O00 which is to be divided at his widows death be held in trust by the trustees for her support, maintenance and education. The testator also requested that the
 trustees hold in trust the sum of $10,- coo for his grand daughter, Mary Moh- Ter, until she reached the age of 25 years, when the fund was to be turned over to her. Since the drawing of the will she has attained that age so the trust is not necessary.

 equally divided among them and to
 belong to their heirs and assigns for ever If either of them shall die be- fore my own decease leaving lawful
