Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Estate of Joseph Yachetta, Deceased. Christine Yachetta, Appellant; Smith, Perkins & Company, Respondent.
Appeal from an order of the Surrogate’s Court of Genesee county, entered December 23, 1918.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The statute (Code Civ. Proc. § 2670, subd. 1) which provides for setting aside " provisions " for the widow, should receive a liberal construction. We think that under the circumstances of this case the " provisions," although not in the dwelling, but at the grocery store, should be set aside to the extent and value as prescribed by said subdivision. All concurred. Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
