     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new deplitory device embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the deplitory device  10  generally comprises a tweezer  12 . The tweezer  12  comprises an upper portion  14  and a lower portion  16 . The tweezer  12  is heatable such that wax  18  contained in the upper portion  14  is dispensable onto the skin  20  of a user around a hair  21 . Upon curing of the wax  18 , the tweezer  12  is used to remove the wax  18  thereby removing the hair  21  from its follicle. 
     The portions  14 ,  16  of the tweezer  12  are integrally joined to form the tweezer  12 . Each of the portions  14 ,  16  has a distal end  24 . The distal ends  24  of the portions  14 ,  16  are designed for grasping onto a hair  21  for the purpose of removing the hair  21 . 
     The upper portion  14  of the tweezer  12  has a wax cavity  26 . The wax cavity  26  is integrally formed within the upper portion  14  such that the wax cavity  26  is designed for the holding and dispensing of the wax  18 . 
     The upper portion  14  of the tweezer  12  has a wax plunger  28 . The wax plunger  28  is slidably coupled to the upper portion  14  of the tweezer  12 . The wax plunger  28  is in contact with the wax  18  in the wax cavity  26  of the upper portion  14  such that the wax plunger  28  is designed for biasing the wax  18  in the wax cavity  26  towards the distal end  24  of the upper portion  14 . 
     The upper portion  14  of the tweezer  12  has a wax aperture  30 . The wax aperture  30  is positioned on an end surface  32  of the distal end  24  of the upper portion  14 . The wax aperture  30  is designed for allowing melted wax  18  to be dispensed from the upper portion  14  of the tweezer  12  when the wax  18  is biased towards the distal end  24  of the upper portion  14  by the wax plunger  28 . This allows the user to utilize the wax  18  cured around a hair  21  in conjunction with the tweezer  12  to remove the hair  21  from its follicle. 
     As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
