1. Where, as in the case sub judice, parties in interest have practically construed a will, and allowed a beneficiary named therein to possess and enjoy a devise, relying upon the devisee's assumed right thereto, the parties to such practical construction may be regarded as estopped from asserting the contrary.
2. In construing a will the court will read the will as a whole and will heed the predominant idea of the testator's mind, if apparent, as against all doubtful and conflicting provisions which might of themselves defeat it.
