     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D
(the "Statement") relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Shares"), of Woolworth Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company"),
filed by and on behalf of Greenway Partners, L.P. ("Greenway"), Greentree
Partners, L.P. ("Greentree"), Greenhouse Partners, L.P. ("Greenhouse"),
Greenhut, L.L.C. ("Greenhut"), Greenbelt Corp. ("Greenbelt"), Greensea Offshore,
L.P. ("Greensea"), Greenhut Overseas, L.L.C. ("Greenhut Overseas"), Alfred D.
Kingsley and Gary K. Duberstein (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Unless
otherwise indicated, the information set forth in the Statement remains
unchanged. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the previous filing of the
Statement.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     The following applies to purchases of Shares not previously reported on the
Statement:

     Accounts managed by Greenbelt purchased an aggregate of 40,000 Shares for
total consideration (including brokerage commissions) of $446,600 derived from
capital in the managed accounts and margin indebtedness from Bear, Stearns & Co.
Inc.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

     Item 4 is amended to add the following:

     On January 3, 1997, Greenway submitted the following proposal and
supporting statement (the "Dividend Proposal") to the Company for inclusion by
the Company in its Proxy Statement for the 1997 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
which is expected to be held in June 1997:


                                       11



          "RESOLVED, that shareholders hereby request and recommend that the
     Board of Directors reinstate a cash dividend payable on the shares of
     Common Stock of Woolworth Corporation."

          "Until recently, Woolworth had a long and proud tradition of paying
     dividends. The 1994 Annual Report stated: "Cash dividends have been paid to
     common shareholders every quarter since 1912." That 83 year tradition ended
     in April 1995 when the dividend to common shareholders was eliminated
     completely. But, Woolworth today is a far stronger company. A
     dividend--even a nominal one of ten or twelve cents per quarter-- will show
     the market that the management of Woolworth has confidence in the strength
     of the turnaround.

          "In addition, reinstating a dividend would increase the universe of
     potential purchasers of Woolworth Common Stock. Many institutions are
     precluded by their bylaws from owning common stocks which pay no cash
     dividends. But, that prohibition disappears if even just a nominal dividend
     is paid. Moreover, Woolworth has the distinction of being one of the 30
     stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Besides the prestige
     factor, there is the practical advantage of being a part of an index whose
     securities are often purchased by major institutional buyers. Of the 30
     stocks in the DJIA, all but Woolworth and Bethlehem Steel pay a dividend.
     We believe that reinstating a dividend will help Woolworth remain a part of
     the DJIA.

          "Some investment bankers may extol the virtues of stock buybacks as a
     means to improve share performance instead of dividend increases. In our
     opinion, that approach is best suited for companies which already pay some
     cash dividend. Therefore, if given a choice, we would favor first
     reinstating a dividend at Woolworth. No doubt, many shareholders would
     welcome the cash income stream. In particular, we believe that retiree
     shareholders on fixed incomes--including those who dedicated their working
     careers to Woolworth-- would favor a cash dividend.

          "The proponent and its affiliates together own six percent of the
     Common Stock, which is over 8,000,000 shares. We are long-term investors
     who take our investment in Woolworth very seriously. At last year's Annual
     Meeting, we sponsored the resolution to spin-off Foot Locker as a separate
     public company. Although we continue to believe that 



                                       12


     Woolworth will do even better once a spin-off occurs, we acknowledge that
     the company's fortunes have improved dramatically. Not only has Foot Locker
     continued to excel, but other parts of the business are beginning to show
     signs of a turnaround. Success at Woolworth should be signaled to the
     market and shareholders alike by reinstating a dividend.

          "We urge all shareholders to join us in asking management to reinstate
     a dividend. Consistent with the proxy rules, the dividend proposal is
     couched as a recommendation to the Board and its passage cannot compel
     action. However, a substantial shareholder vote in favor should, in our
     opinion, be regarded as a mandate to reinstate a dividend. SEND THAT
     MESSAGE TO THE BOARD BY VOTING FOR THE REINSTATEMENT OF A CASH DIVIDEND."

     The Reporting Persons intend to communicate with other shareholders and
interested parties concerning the Company and to solicit support for the
Dividend Proposal.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Persons
beneficially owned in the aggregate 8,071,922 Shares constituting 6.0% of the
